Ethereum fixes validator software ahead of major gas limit test on Sepolia network

Ethereum developers released a last-minute update to the Prysm validator software to ensure blocks on the Sepolia test network use the new 200 million gas limit during the Glamsterdam upgrade test. This upgrade aims to triple the block capacity from 60 million to 200 million gas, allowing more transactions per block and testing network reliability under higher loads. Without the update, some validators would have continued using the old limit, undermining the test's accuracy. The results will guide future capacity increases on Ethereum's main network.

Ethereum's Glamsterdam test update is noted with Pluang market data as of Oct 06, 2026 11:02 WIB. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, 11 out of 50 rose while 38 fell today. Notable movers include CAKE at Rp43.636 with a -4.18% change and a typical hold time of 75 days, ENJ at Rp581 down 3.93%, and GRT at Rp519 down 3.55%.
