Glamsterdam rehearsal passes: gas limit raised to 200 million ahead of October 6 test

  • Nethermind passed 2,302 tests, processing 570.7 billion gas in 3 minutes 15 seconds
  • The testnet gas limit was raised from 60 million to 200 million
  • Block-level access lists enable parallel transaction processing
  • Deployment on Sepolia is scheduled for October 6, pending confirmation
Why it matters: Higher Ethereum capacity will reduce fee spikes during peak load, but the 200 million gas limit is still only a test setting.
