Ethereum developers plan to raise the Hoodi testnet's gas limit to 200 million with the Glamsterdam upgrade on October 26, marking a significant step in scaling the network. This upgrade introduces key protocol changes to improve block production, transaction execution, and network efficiency, but its mainnet launch date remains unscheduled.
