Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade has gone live on the Sepolia testnet, moving its 2026 scaling package into one of its final public testing stages before a planned mainnet activation. According to Ethereum community contributor Pooja Ranjan, the upgrade activated on Sepolia…
Reported details
- The first two upgraded epochs finalized, while early blocks began a gradual gas-limit climb from 60 million toward a 200 million client target.
Why this matters
Ethereum Glamsterdam is an infrastructure change, not a market event: the thing to verify is whether the underlying record moved, or only the wrapper around it. A tokenized claim is unchanged if the ledger, custodian, and redemption terms are unchanged, however the announcement is framed.

What to verify
Verify Ethereum Glamsterdam on the chain: the deployed contract address and version, and whether the ledger of record changed or only the interface that reads it.
