Sepolia has activated it; Hoodi testing is postponed, and mainnet has no confirmed date.","content":"**Glamsterdam** is [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)’s planned next major upgrade after Fusaka, intended to scale the [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) and blob throughput.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) Sepolia activated the upgrade on October 6, 2026; Hoodi’s planned test was postponed on October 22, and the provisional Q4 2026 [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) target has no confirmed date.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)\n\n## Overview\nGlamsterdam represents a crucial phase in [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)'s ongoing evolution, aiming to address persistent challenges such as network scalability and high [transaction fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee). Planned as the successor to the [Fusaka](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fusaka) upgrade, it is expected on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) in Q4 2026, with the exact date not yet confirmed; this target is not a fixed or scheduled [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) date, and as of October 24, 2026, no specific [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) epoch or timestamp has been set.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) The [Ethereum Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-foundation-ef) has reorganized its research and development division into \"Protocol,\" a leaner and more focused entity led by veterans like [Tim Beiko](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tim-beiko) and [Ansgar Dietrichs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ansgar-dietrichs). This reorganization prioritizes scaling the [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) (L1), expanding blobspace, and improving user experience (UX), mandates that directly align with the expected priorities of Glamsterdam.[[2]](#cite-id-LOWNMso5Cb)\n\n $$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hfz4xubm6kc)$$ \n\nThe development approach for Glamsterdam emphasizes stability and thorough testing, reflecting the iterative nature of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) development. By September 2026, the upgrade had passed through several dedicated private devnets and, under Meta‑EIP‑7773, the Sepolia [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork) was assigned a fixed activation at epoch 353,024, slot 11,296,768 (October 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC), while activation parameters for the Hoodi [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) and [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) remained unscheduled.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) The Sepolia upgrade activated and finalized successfully on that schedule, serving as a major public rehearsal of Glamsterdam’s scope, but did not itself define Hoodi or [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) activation dates.[[19]](#cite-id-sgo1al59yl)[[20]](#cite-id-ox1v5bhc61) On October 22, 2026, core developers postponed the Hoodi activation that had been planned for October 26, with no replacement date announced by October 24; Hoodi’s test schedule is separate from the provisional Q4 2026 [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) target.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) In advance of the Sepolia [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork), [node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) operators were required to update both their execution and consensus clients to Sepolia‑compatible releases.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef) This commitment to staged testing is intended to ensure that new features are robust and well-integrated into the network's broader roadmap. The successful implementation of Glamsterdam is expected to significantly impact the entire [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) ecosystem, benefiting investors through enhanced network efficiency, developers through new functionalities and tools, and users through a more [stable](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stable), secure, and cost-effective experience.[[2]](#cite-id-LOWNMso5Cb)[[3]](#cite-id-rfAZoUE0K3)\n\n## Naming Convention\n\n[Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) network upgrades traditionally derive their names from various sources, often combining a star name for the Consensus Layer (CL) upgrade with a city name for the Execution Layer (EL) upgrade. Historically, [Devcon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/devcon) cities were used for naming upgrades. However, with [Devcon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/devcon) becoming a biennial event, the use of Devconnect city names, such as Amsterdam, has been adopted for annual upgrades. For Glamsterdam, the name combines \"Gloas,\" a G-star, with \"Amsterdam,\" the city that hosted a recent Devconnect event. This naming convention is part of a Meta [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) Improvement Proposal (EIP-7773: [Hardfork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hard-fork) Meta - Amsterdam).[[1]](#cite-id-3imVvYHRKv)\n\n## Development Roadmap\nThe Glamsterdam upgrade is positioned as the successor to the [Fusaka](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fusaka) upgrade. Earlier planning in 2025 tentatively placed Fusaka’s [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) deployment in early November 2025; that was a historical forecast, not a current forecast for Glamsterdam.[[4]](#cite-id-1otWM0BVGC)[[5]](#cite-id-lbk79tETJu) [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) core developers have outlined a detailed roadmap for Glamsterdam, encompassing several critical phases from feature selection to [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) activation. This structured approach aims to ensure a smooth and secure transition for the network.\n\n### Headliner Selection Phase\n\nThe initial phase involved the selection of \"headliner\" features to define Glamsterdam's primary focus. During the All Core Developers Consensus Call #162, [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) core developers officially selected EIP-7732, also known as enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS), as the consensus layer headliner for the upgrade. This decision finalized the thematic direction of the upgrade, prioritizing protocol-level decentralization and censorship resistance over other candidates.[[4]](#cite-id-1otWM0BVGC)[[7]](#cite-id-ARj8e3zdv9)\n\n### Proposal Deadline and Specification Freeze\n\nTo prevent scope creep and ensure timely progress, a strict deadline was set for finalizing headliner choices and submitting regular [EIPs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-improvement-proposal-eip). This cut-off, set for August 21, 2025, allowed developers to merge, audit, and document all included EIPs before the network enters the rigorous testing phase. This disciplined approach is crucial for managing the complexity of a major [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) upgrade. However, some developers have raised concerns that the intense focus on planning for Glamsterdam, which is not expected until 2026, might be diverting attention and resources from the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, potentially putting its Q4 2025 timeline at risk.[[4]](#cite-id-1otWM0BVGC)[[8]](#cite-id-jRI3wv4V9g)\n\n### Testing and Audit Windows\nThe rollout process for Glamsterdam begins with the creation of dedicated client release branches that track the frozen specifications, followed by a sequence of private and public [testnets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet). By September 2026, [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) client teams had iterated through multiple private devnets, culminating in a full dress rehearsal on Devnet-11 designed to exercise enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS), block-level parallel execution, and state-cost repricing under stressed conditions.[[11]](#cite-id-a9o6skjpa2)[[12]](#cite-id-i53b1rvqsn)\n\nOn September 17, 2026, the [Ethereum Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-foundation-ef) announced that the Glamsterdam upgrade was scheduled to activate on the Sepolia [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) at epoch 353,024, slot 11,296,768, corresponding to October 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC, as specified in Meta‑EIP‑7773.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef) The Sepolia [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork) occurred as planned, finalized successfully, and raised Sepolia’s target [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) limit from roughly 60 million to around 200 million [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) per [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) as a capacity stress test for Glamsterdam’s new mechanisms.[[18]](#cite-id-beh4cp90n1)[[19]](#cite-id-sgo1al59yl)[[20]](#cite-id-ox1v5bhc61) These public [testnets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) are vital for identifying interoperability issues under realistic network conditions and for broader community participation, allowing [dApp](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) developers, [node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) operators, and researchers to test their applications and infrastructure against the new changes. [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum).org and roadmap updates describe Glamsterdam as targeting a Q4 2026 [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) activation, but as of October 24, 2026, no specific [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) date or epoch has been confirmed and the target remains subject to change based on [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) outcomes.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)\n\n### Hoodi Testnet Postponement\n\nAt ACDE #248, core developers postponed the Hoodi Glamsterdam activation scheduled for October 26, 2026, to investigate how EIP-8037’s state-creation [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) accounting interacts with [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployed on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet).[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) The previously planned activation at 17:42:48 UTC, epoch 132,352, was removed, as was the simultaneous Hoodi gas-limit schedule that would have raised the limit to 200 million.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) No replacement epoch or timestamp had been announced by October 24, 2026.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)\n\nThe change rolls back the future-upgrade configuration and does not revert Hoodi chain history. Hoodi operators were directed to follow revised execution- and consensus-client instructions rather than use the superseded activation schedule.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) Hoodi testing remains a future milestone with timing undecided; it is distinct from the Q4 2026 [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) target, for which no activation date has been set.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)\n\nDevelopers have indicated a willingness to adjust this timeline in response to bugs, finality issues, or client divergences uncovered on devnets and [testnets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet), mirroring the cautious approach taken with the Pectra and Fusaka upgrades.[[12]](#cite-id-i53b1rvqsn)[[3]](#cite-id-rfAZoUE0K3) Formal security audits and community bug bounties focus on the period between public [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) activation and final [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) scheduling, with the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation) announcement confirming bug bounty coverage around the Sepolia [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork).[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef) With Sepolia completed, developers describe the remaining Hoodi rehearsal and any follow-up testing as among the last major milestones before a [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) activation decision; the Hoodi timing is undecided following its postponement.[[19]](#cite-id-sgo1al59yl)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)\n\n## Key Features\nGlamsterdam is expected to introduce several significant improvements to the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) network, with much of its scope defined under Meta‑EIP‑7773 but still subject to final inclusion based on testing results. These features remain planned or under test and are not live on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet).[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) At a high level, the upgrade focuses on enshrined Proposer‑Builder Separation (ePBS), [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block)‑level access lists (BALs), and extensive [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) repricing and accounting changes that better distinguish long‑term state growth from short‑term computation.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef) Together, these changes are intended to increase Layer‑1 and blob throughput for rollups while keeping full [node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) requirements within reach of non‑specialized hardware.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)\n\nUnder Meta‑EIP‑7773, Glamsterdam’s Sepolia deployment tracks a set of EIPs scheduled for inclusion on that [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet), including ePBS (EIP‑7732), BALs (EIP‑7928), [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) repricing for storage and hashing (such as EIP‑8037 and EIP‑8038), resource‑based intrinsic [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) via EIP‑2780, [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) transfer logs (EIP‑7708), a deterministic factory predeploy (EIP‑7997), a SLOTNUM opcode and related execution changes, increased contract size limits, [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) exit and churn tuning, exclusion of recently slashed proposers from [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) production, and supporting networking EIPs required to propagate BALs and ePBS data.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) The announced scope may still evolve before [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) activation, and some proposals, such as EIP‑7805 (FOCIL) or revisions to contract code size rules, are treated as “consider for inclusion” rather than guaranteed components of the Glamsterdam [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork).[[3]](#cite-id-rfAZoUE0K3)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) Investigating how EIP-8037’s state-creation [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) accounting interacts with [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployed on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) is a current pre-mainnet compatibility concern; developers postponed the Hoodi activation to investigate it.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)\n\nWithin this scope, **EIP‑7732 (ePBS)** remains the consensus‑layer headliner for Glamsterdam and is scheduled for inclusion in the upgrade but is not yet live on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet).[[7]](#cite-id-ARj8e3zdv9)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) It formally separates [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) proposers and builders and moves builder commitments and payments into the protocol, lengthening the data propagation and validation window and enabling larger payloads and higher throughput, especially for blob data used by Layer‑2 rollups.[[15]](#cite-id-v9ybl2h3bf)[[14]](#cite-id-kxie074qi8) ePBS introduces mechanisms such as a Payload Timeliness Committee (PTC) and dual‑deadline attestation logic to enforce timely [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) delivery and strengthen liveness guarantees, while reducing reliance on external MEV relays and other centralized intermediaries in the [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block)‑building market.[[15]](#cite-id-v9ybl2h3bf)[[14]](#cite-id-kxie074qi8) A key challenge this EIP addresses is the \"free option problem,\" where builders can submit a [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) commitment but choose not to reveal the full [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) if market conditions become unfavorable, harming network liveness.\n\nGlamsterdam’s execution‑layer changes, including BALs, revised [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) accounting, and resource‑based intrinsic [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas), are designed to encourage more efficient use of persistent state and to prepare [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) for higher parallelism and greater blob usage in subsequent roadmap phases.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) Cryptographic approaches to mitigating the ePBS free option problem, such as threshold encryption and silent threshold encryption, continue to be explored by researchers and projects like Shutter, but these mechanisms are not part of the core Glamsterdam [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork) and remain separate research directions that could influence later upgrades.[[9]](#cite-id-fqVa6HrtNK) Longer‑term ideas such as Verkle trees under “The [Verge](https://iq.wiki/wiki/verge)” roadmap and proposals to shorten [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) times to 6 seconds are discussed in the broader [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) roadmap but are not scheduled components of the Glamsterdam [hard fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hard-fork) as defined in EIP‑7773.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)[[6]](#cite-id-M321njUVdJ)\n\n## Impact and Challenges\nGlamsterdam is framed by many core developers and commentators as the most significant protocol-level restructuring since The Merge, because it combines enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation with block-level parallel execution via BALs and extensive [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) and state-cost repricing.[[14]](#cite-id-kxie074qi8)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo) Devnet experiments and the Sepolia [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork), which raised Sepolia’s [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) limit from around 60 million to about 200 million [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) per [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) with BAL-enabled execution, suggest that, if similar conditions hold on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet), average transaction fees for many common operations could fall by roughly 70–80%, though these figures are projections from modeling and [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) environments rather than guarantees for production networks.[[11]](#cite-id-a9o6skjpa2)[[18]](#cite-id-beh4cp90n1)[[19]](#cite-id-sgo1al59yl) The formal Sepolia schedule and its successful completion under bug bounty coverage signal that Glamsterdam has moved from design into full public testing. The Hoodi activation planned for October 26, 2026, was postponed on October 22 to investigate EIP-8037’s interactions with [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployed on [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet); no replacement date had been announced by October 24. Hoodi testing remains a future milestone with timing undecided, while the Q4 2026 [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) target remains provisional and has no set activation date.[[16]](#cite-id-dgvlv156ef)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn)[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)\n\nAt the same time, several risks and open questions remain as of October 2026. Researchers have highlighted potential builder-abuse vectors for ePBS on public [testnets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet), including strategies that could exploit the longer timing window or attempt to game payload selection, and these behaviors were a focus of the completed Sepolia [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork); the timing of further Hoodi testing is undecided following its postponement.[[13]](#cite-id-ypk7yvpviw)[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) Developers also postponed the Hoodi activation to investigate how EIP-8037’s state-creation [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) accounting interacts with [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployed on mainnet.[[21]](#cite-id-gmww6tirvn) Client teams also face tight timelines between releasing stable Glamsterdam-ready versions and activating them on each [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet), increasing the importance of coordinated testing and rollback plans.[[12]](#cite-id-i53b1rvqsn) More broadly, the absence of a fixed [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) date despite the Q4 2026 target underlines developers’ willingness to delay activation if devnet or [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) results reveal unresolved issues.[[10]](#cite-id-r0wljdgupo)\n\nFor investors, successful upgrades can enhance network efficiency and utility, potentially strengthening the long-term value proposition of [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) (ETH), while setbacks or delays may briefly increase uncertainty but can also signal a preference for safety over speed. For developers, Glamsterdam’s new [EIPs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-improvement-proposal-eip)—including ePBS, BALs, and revised [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) accounting—introduce new functionalities, tools, and optimizations that may require substantial code changes but open the door to more sophisticated, efficient, and secure [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). For users, the upgrade’s net effect is expected to be a more stable, secure, and potentially faster and cheaper network experience over time, with any short-term complexity during the transition balanced against long-term capacity gains.\n\nDespite the anticipated benefits, coordinating a [hard fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hard-fork) for a network as large and complex as [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) presents significant challenges. Thousands of contributors must ensure backward compatibility, maintain client diversity, and rigorously test every change. The decision to defer EIP-7907 from [Fusaka](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fusaka) and to treat elements of Glamsterdam’s scope as conditional on [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) results underscores this complexity and demonstrates developers' commitment to caution and thoroughness over rushed implementation. Another key challenge is ensuring that as [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) scales, it preserves its core ethos, including censorship resistance and privacy, which some developers have raised concerns about if not explicitly reaffirmed as strategic goals.\n\n[Tim Beiko](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tim-beiko), a project coordinator, stated, \"Protocol is now a more united and leaner organization with more focused teams…ensuring the EF’s resources are allocated toward maximal impact.\" He also noted, \"[Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) stands at the edge of major breakthroughs…This may be our best shot at deploying not only our technology, but our values, at planetary scale.\" [Ansgar Dietrichs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ansgar-dietrichs) added, \"For Glamsterdam…we will have to find some ways to continue the blob scaling…there might be some EL-side scaling opportunities too.\" These statements highlight the strategic importance and ambitious goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade.[[2]](#cite-id-LOWNMso5Cb)[[3]](#cite-id-rfAZoUE0K3)","recentActivity":null,"operator":{"id":"0x1e23b34d3106f0c1c74d17f2cd0f65cdb039b138"},"categories":[{"id":"projects-and-protocols","title":"projects-and-protocols"}],"tags":[],"images":[{"id":"QmRSmLhJ63amSNFFoAxk4SDYUUF1Y8EXMsGFQoYntb6Baf","type":"image/jpeg,
