POPA ReconEthereum is putting its next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, onto the Hoodi testnet on October 26 at 17:42 UTC, according to WuBlockchain. The test will also raise Hoodi's block gas limit to 200 million, matching Sepolia. The headline changes are enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access lists (BALs), which are meant to allow parallel transaction validation and lift Layer 1 throughput. The package also includes revised gas pricing for state creation and data access. Cointelegraph adds that no mainnet date has been set yet. So October 26 is a Hoodi testnet activation, not a mainnet launch, and success or issues there will shape the later mainnet schedule.
