Ethereum prepares Sepolia network for Amsterdam, conducting 200 million Gas cap test

Ethereum will activate the Glamstam upgrade on the Sepolia Test Network to conduct a 200 million Gas Limit Test

Ethereum will activate the "Glamstam" upgrade on the Sepolia Test Network today to conduct a stress test with a 200 million Gas Limit. This upgrade introduces the "Institutional Proponder-Builder Separation"(ePBS) and block-level access lists (BALS) to optimize Ethereum's block production and verification efficiency.

Technical details of Glamsburg upgrade and Prysm update

As the Glamsburg upgrade enters the next testing phase, Ethereum is preparing to test the 200 million Gas cap on the Sepolia Test Network. This latest change stems from the release of Prysm v7.2.1 by Offchain Labs on October 5. This version adds Sepolia's Gas limit scheduling mechanism and sets 200 million as the default Gas limit for validators after the Gloas fork.

The new Prysm release also changes the way data columns are processed, enabling some data column functions by default. Under this change, nodes can propagate individual cells individually rather than entire data columns. In addition, Prysm has added configuration options for the Gloas builder, including builder URL, minimum bid, and builder bid timeout settings.

The 200 million Gas setting is more than three times the previous 60 million Gas configuration of Sepolia. Prysm's latest release notes state that the new schedule will take effect in the 353, 024th era, which matches the Sepolia configuration released for the Gloas fork. Verifiers using Prysm v7.2.1 do not need to manually set the 200 million limit, although operators can still select other limits through proposer settings or the Keymanager API.

Glamstam landed in Sepolia today: Analysis of core changes

Ethereum's Glamstam upgrade is scheduled to be activated on Sepolia on October 6 at 13:53:36 UTC, corresponding to the 353, 024th era and the 11, 296, 768th time slot. The upgrade combines changes at the execution level in Amsterdam with changes at the Gloas consensus level.

Its core changes include institutionalized proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access lists (BALS). BALS are designed to record the accounts and storage locations visited in a chunk, allowing clients to perform more state reading and transaction verification work in parallel. Glamestead has also adjusted Gas billing rules for state creation, state access, invoked data and access lists.

It should be emphasized that this 200 million Gas test is limited to the Sepolia test network and has not set a new Gas limit for the Ethereum main network. The Ethereum Foundation has not announced an activation date for Hoodi testnet or mainnet.

Analysis of Market Trends and ETH Price Trend

At the same time, according to CoinMarketCap data, ETH is currently trading at approximately US$2,714, with a market value of approximately US$331 billion, and a 24-hour trading volume of more than US$10.2 billion. In the past 24 hours, ETH has fallen by about 0.8%.
