(Shaurya Malwa/CoinDesk) 要約 表示 Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade raised Sepolia’s processing limit to nearly 200 million gas from about 60 million as developers test ways to accommodate more payments and trades. Early test blocks used only 26% to 46% of their capacity, while a six-minute voting period produced all scheduled blocks and drew 99.97% of eligible stake toward finality. The upgrade changes transaction processing and data-access costs, with a Hoodi test tentatively planned for Oct. 27 and no mainnet activation date set. Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade is running on a public test network with a processing budget more than three times its previous level, as developers test changes intended to give the blockchain room for more payments and trades.
