Glamsterdam Upgrade Completed, Ethereum Aims for Gas Limit of 200 Million per Block
Ethereum core developers have just completed the Soldøgn Interop agenda in Svalbard by agreeing on critical technical targets for the Glamsterdam upgrade. The main focus of this update is to significantly increase the gas limit per Ethereum blockchain block from around 60 million to 200 million.
This agreement was reached after more than 100 contributors conducted intensive testing on glamsterdam-devnet-2. The capacity increase of over three times is made possible through the implementation of three technical pillars: ePBS (Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation), optimization of BAL (Block-Level Access Lists) to support parallel execution, and EIP-8037, which adjusts the costs of state creation to maintain network data storage efficiency despite the increased block capacity.
Achieving the 200 million gas limit per block is projected to drastically reduce transaction fees on the mainnet and expand Layer 1 scalability capacity to nearly 10,000 TPS. In addition to refining Glamsterdam, this Arctic circle meeting also began drafting the framework for the next upgrade, Hegotá, which includes native account abstraction features and FOCIL. The final parameters for all these updates are scheduled to be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting next week.
