Ethereum\u2019s Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled for Hoodi, a test network, on Oct. 26, 2026, at 17:42:48 UTC, giving its node operators a deadline to upgrade software. The test pairs changes to block production and validation with a scheduled 200 million gas target.<\/p>\n

The Ethereum Foundation\u2019s Oct. 16 announcement<\/a> fixes the next testnet deployment after Glamsterdam\u2019s Oct. 6 activation on Sepolia. Mainnet timing remains undecided. ETH holders<\/a> and mainnet operators have no action to take as a result of this Hoodi announcement.<\/p>\n

All Hoodi operators must update their execution and consensus clients before activation. Validators must update both the beacon node and validator client, and review new duties, builder-tooling compatibility and gas-limit settings to follow the upgraded testnet.<\/p>\n\n

Ethrex\u2019s listed version is a release candidate. Grandine, Lighthouse, Erigon, go-ethereum and Reth remain unlisted; operators should use releases whose notes confirm this Hoodi activation.<\/p>\n

Besu 26.10.0<\/a> migrates Bonsai code storage on first startup and retains more history when pruning. Downgrading requires the documented besu storage revert-code-format command before an older version can reopen the database.<\/p>\n

\"Hoodi\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

What the scaling test changes<\/h2>\n

Hoodi\u2019s 200 million gas target is a planned budget for computational work<\/a> per block. The gas-limit schedule<\/a> sets client defaults and recommendations while preserving operator preferences. The actual block limit adjusts gradually under existing rules, so the target is not an instantly enforced ceiling.<\/p>\n

Throughput depends on transaction complexity, while fees also depend on demand.<\/p>\n\n

Glamsterdam combines Amsterdam on the execution layer with Gloas on the consensus layer. Enshrined proposer-builder separation<\/a> moves the exchange between block proposers and builders into the protocol and gives validators more time to check execution. Block-level access lists<\/a> record accessed accounts, storage and state changes so clients can perform more work in parallel.<\/p>\n

Developers also have testing to do: changed gas pricing can affect contracts that rely on fixed stipends, hardcoded limits or remaining-gas assumptions. The Foundation advises testing contracts and gas estimation under the new rules.<\/p>\n\n
