Ethereum’s scaling test needs validators to opt in
Ethereum’s scaling test needs validators to opt inSepolia’s October 6 upgrade targets more capacity, but two clients retain a 60 million gas default.
Ethereum’s next scaling test depends on choices made by its validators. Sepolia will activate Glamsterdam on October 6, with a scheduled preference for 200 million gas per block. Two compatible clients retain a 60 million default, so installing the upgrade alone will not deliver the intended capacity test. Elsewhere, Bitget’s attackers are moving stolen Zcash into shielded transactions as other routes reject their swaps. Bitcoin enters the fourth quarter after a strong rebound, but the historical returns attracting attention offer no assurance that fresh demand can absorb the coins held near recent price levels.

Prysm 7.2.0 and Teku 26.9.1 keep a 60 million gas preference unless operators explicitly configure a higher value, according to the Ethereum Foundation. The scheduled 200 million preference is advisory, so Sepolia’s realized limit will adjust as validators propose blocks; Hoodi and mainnet activation dates remain undecided.
