Ethereum Test, Fed Meeting and Options Expiry Converge Oct. 26-30

Three scheduled developments will put Ethereum’s software roadmap, U.S. monetary policy and crypto derivatives on the calendar from Oct. 26 through Oct. 30, giving markets separate updates without a shared price signal. Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled to activate on Hoodi, a test network, at 1:42:48 p.m. ET (17:42:48 UTC) on Oct. 26. The activation is set for epoch 132,352 and slot 4,235,264. The test covers changes to block production, transaction validation and gas accounting, including proposer-builder separation and block-level access lists. Hoodi’s gas limit is also scheduled to rise to 200 million. The activation is confined to Hoodi. Ethereum has not set a mainnet date for Glamsterdam, so the Oct. 26 deployment does not schedule an immediate change to mainnet fees or capacity.
