Ethereum developers deployed a network upgrade on the Sepolia testnet to resolve a flaw that could result in low-capacity blocks. The gas limit will increase from 60 million to 200 million to test scalability ahead of the Glamsterdam blockchain upgrade. Prysm released version 7.2.1 to ensure validator nodes operate correctly; older versions would default to the 60 million limit unless manually configured. These testnet changes support Ethereum’s broader blockchain upgrade strategy.

ME News reports that on October 6 (UTC+8), the Ethereum development team completed an emergency software update prior to the Sepolia testnet’s Glamsterdam upgrade, fixing an issue that could cause some validators to produce low-capacity blocks. This test will increase Sepolia’s gas limit from approximately 60 million to 200 million, to validate Ethereum’s future plans for enhancing network throughput. On Monday evening, the Ethereum validator client Prysm released version 7.2.1; previous versions were released before the Sepolia parameter adjustments, and validators who did not manually adjust their settings would have continued operating under the 60-million-gas limit. This update ensures that validator nodes will participate in the Glamsterdam test as intended. (Source: ODAILY)
