The Ethereum Foundation Has Achieved Key Objectives of the Glamsterdam Upgrade, Reaching the 200M Gas Limit Floor

The Ethereum Foundation has published a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, which has largely achieved the key objectives of the Glamsterdam upgrade, including consensus on a 200 million gas limit floor post-upgrade, successful implementation of stable external builder workflows for ePBS, and finalization of the EIP-8037 gas repricing parameters. The Glamsterdam upgrade focuses on securely increasing the gas limit to enhance Ethereum’s throughput, while EIP-8037 will prevent infinite state bloat caused by high gas limits by increasing the cost of state creation. The Ethereum Foundation also noted that most clients have achieved stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the full external builder workflow. Additionally, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and features related to the Hegotá upgrade. Over the coming weeks, core developers will continue advancing client hardening, refining testing, and merging code, with final parameters to be publicly confirmed at the upcoming AllCoreDevs meeting.
