Ethereum is preparing for the public testnet launch of its Glamsterdam upgrade on the Sepolia network, scheduled for October 6, 2026. This upgrade combines consensus and execution layer improvements aimed at enhancing network capacity, parallel processing, and limiting database growth. Key features include proposer-builder separation and Block-Level Access Lists to support more efficient block processing. After testing on Sepolia and other public networks, the mainnet deployment is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, with no exact date set yet. Ether holders will not need to take any action as this is a protocol upgrade, not an asset migration.
