Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade Enters Final Devnet Phase With 200M Gas-Limit Target

Crypto Insight Summary: 1. 3. 5. Glamsterdam has reached its final devnet stage, locking in ten EIPs including ePBS and Block-Level Access Lists. The bundle clears the path for a 200 million gas-limit floor and mainnet activation in H2 2026. By:• 0 hours ago Blockchains Ethereum's reached its final devnet stage Tuesday, locking in the EIP bundle that core developers expect to carry the network through public testnets and on to mainnet activation in the second half of 2026. The combination clears the path for a 200 million gas-limit floor, roughly tripling current L1 capacity from the 60 million range and unlocking what proponents say is up to 10,000 TPS-equivalent throughput under realistic workloads. The published by the EF's pandaops team lists the included proposals. The May 2026 finalization of EIP-8037, which sets a fixed cost per state byte and dedicates a separate gas reservoir for state growth, was the final piece that gave client teams a sustainability ceiling under which a 200M gas limit could be raised without bloating the database past 120 GiB per year. Crypto Insight Analysis: Direction: Bullish ETH Impact: Major Impact Horizon: Long-term (1 quarter-1 year) Reasoning: Tripling gas limit and 10k TPS potential significantly enhances Ethereum's scalability and utility.
