Ethereum delays Glamsterdam upgrade on Hoodi testnet, mainnet launch date still unknown

Ethereum developers have canceled the planned October 26 activation of the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet, instructing node operators to run client software without the scheduled fork. This upgrade combines execution and consensus layer changes, including the key enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS) to improve protocol efficiency. Although Glamsterdam successfully activated on the Sepolia testnet earlier, the delay on Hoodi casts uncertainty on the mainnet launch, previously considered for early December. For now, only testnet operators are affected, with no immediate impact on mainnet users or ETH holders.

Ethereum developers' cancellation of the October 26 Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet comes as 45 of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang fell today. For readers following the crypto market, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Oct 22, 2026 21:43 WIB: Filecoin (FIL) dropped 6.03% to Rp17.408 with a typical hold time of 100 days and 83% buy orders; The Sandbox (SAND) fell 5.66% to Rp976 with 81% sell orders; Curve DAO Token (CRV) declined 5.34% to Rp6.646 with 88% sell orders.
