According to Christine D. Kim (@christine_dkim), Ethereum developers confirmed at the ACDC #186 meeting that the Glamsterdam upgrade will activate on Sepolia testnet on October 6 at 13:53 UTC. However, significant uncertainty remains— the latest private testnet, Glamsterdam-Devnet-9, is still unstable, with critical vulnerabilities identified in the consensus layer that could cause a complete network halt, and bugs exist in the execution layer EIP-8037 requiring fixes. Developers plan to release Devnet-10 in the coming weeks; if Devnet-10 remains unstable, the Sepolia upgrade date may be delayed. Activation timelines for the Hoodi testnet and mainnet have not yet been determined, and whether the goal of launching on mainnet before year-end can be met remains uncertain.

Ethereum's blockchain upgrade, the Glamsterdam upgrade, is scheduled to activate on the Sepolia testnet on October 6 at 13:53 UTC, according to on-chain updates shared by developers during the ACDC #186 meeting. However, the upgrade faces uncertainty due to instability in the latest private testnet, Glamsterdam-Devnet-9, which contains a critical consensus layer vulnerability and a bug in EIP-8037. Developers plan to launch Devnet-10 shortly, and if it remains unstable, the Sepolia activation may be delayed. Timelines for the Hoodi testnet and mainnet remain unclear, with the year-end mainnet target still in doubt.
