Ethereum’s Hoodi testnet upgrade to raise gas limit to 200 million on October 26

Ethereum is set to reach a significant technical milestone as its upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade activates on the Hoodi testnet at 17:42:48 UTC on October 26. The event comes amid a period of subdued price action, with ETH recently trading between $2,450 and $2,500 after rebounding from a recent $2,330 low. A move toward $2,800 from the current price would require an increase of about 13%, making this upcoming network event a closely watched marker rather than an automatic market catalyst. The Ethereum Foundation confirmed that Glamsterdam will go live on Hoodi at epoch 132,352, boosting the testnet’s gas limit to 200 million. The step follows its prior activation on the Sepolia testnet earlier this month. One major feature of the Glamsterdam upgrade is enshrined proposer-builder separation.
