Ethereum core developers postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade activation on the Hoodi testnet, originally set for October 26, following discussion at ACDE #248 on October 22. The delay, announced via the Ethereum Foundation blog, cancels the Amsterdam and Gloas activations and the planned increase of Hoodi's gas limit to roughly 200M, citing a need to study EIP-8037's interaction with deployed smart contracts.

The Ethereum Foundation said the Glamsterdam upgrade will activate on the Hoodi testnet at epoch 132,352 on October 26, 2026, bringing EIP-7732 into the protocol's consensus rules. That change writes proposer-builder separation directly into Ethereum, replacing today's out-of-protocol arrangement with a payload timeliness committee that verifies builders delivered blocks and blob data on schedule. The upgrade bundles 19 EIPs total, including EIP-7928 for enforced block-level access lists plus several smaller technical improvements.
