Ethereum Sepolia Raises Block Gas Limit Above Mainnet
Decrypt.co reported that Ethereum’s Sepolia test network activated Glamsterdam on Oct. 6, lifting its block gas limit to nearly 200 million. That is more than three times Ethereum mainnet’s 60 million.
Decrypt.co reported that Ethereum’s Sepolia test network activated Glamsterdam on Oct. 6. The upgrade raised the network’s block gas limit to near 200 million.
The new limit is more than three times Ethereum mainnet’s 60 million block gas limit, according to the report.
Key Takeaways
- Decrypt.co said Ethereum’s Sepolia test network activated Glamsterdam on Oct. 6.
- The upgrade lifted Sepolia’s block gas limit to near 200 million.
- The reported limit is more than three times Ethereum mainnet’s 60 million.
Context
Ethereum test networks are used to trial protocol changes before they are deployed more broadly. Block gas limits help determine how much computation can fit into a block, making them a key part of network capacity planning.
