Ethereum Foundation Says Glamsterdam Milestones Met, Sets 200M Gas Limit Floor

The Ethereum Foundation has released a recap of its Soldøgn interoperability work, reporting that most core goals for the Glamsterdam upgrade have been met. The summary highlights agreement on establishing a 200 million gas limit floor after the upgrade, delivery of a stable external builder workflow for ePBS, and completion of EIP8037 gas repricing parameters. Glamsterdam is aimed at safely raising Ethereum's gas limit to boost throughput. EIP8037 is designed to curb runaway state growth that could result from higher gas limits by increasing the cost of state creation. The foundation said most client teams are now running stably on glamsterdamdevnet2 and have successfully tested the end-to-end external builder workflow. It also noted meaningful progress on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and items tied to the Hegotá upgrade. In the weeks ahead, core developers plan to continue hardening clients, tightening test coverage, and merging code. Final parameters are expected to be publicly confirmed at the next AllCoreDevs meeting.
