Key points
- Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade increases the gas limit to nearly 200 million
- The upgrade is part of the broader Glamsterdam test to accommodate more payments and trades
- The upgrade changes how much gas particular tasks consume
- The upgrade is not yet fully utilized, as none of the test blocks came close to full capacity
- The next public test network, Hoodi, is tentatively set for October 27
The upgrade could help Ethereum handle more transactions and trades, potentially improving its scalability and efficiency.
If the upgrade doesn't work as expected, it could cause problems for the network and users.
