[Ethereum Glamsterdam Completes Devnet-11 Rehearsal, Gas Limit Proposed to Increase to 200 Million]
According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade completed its rehearsal on Devnet-11 this week, successfully confirming blocks under the new block construction rules. This upgrade proposes to increase the block gas limit from 60 million to 200 million and introduces block-level access lists, allowing nodes to parallelize data retrieval and validation of unrelated transactions. Additionally, the block data propagation time will be extended from approximately 2 seconds to 9 seconds to accommodate larger blocks.
During testing, the Nethermind execution client passed all 2,302 performance tests, processing 570.7 billion gas within 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Developers plan to deploy the upgrade on the Sepolia testnet on October 6, pending formal confirmation. The 200 million gas limit remains experimental and has not yet undergone adversarial stress testing.
