Key Highlights The Sepolia testnet is set to activate a major fork on October 6 at 13:53 UTC, increasing its block gas limit from approximately 60 million to 200 million. Validators operating on client version v7.2.1 will automatically propose 200 million gas blocks to stress-test validator hardware and capacity. Findings from Sepolia will directly inform ...
Key Highlights: Ethereum developers released Prysm version 7.2.1 to ensure validators support a new 200 million gas limit on the Sepolia testnet. The update precedes the activation of the Glamsterdam upgrade scheduled for October 6 at 13:53:36 UTC on Sepolia.
