Ethereum confirms Glamsterdam test dates, warns of 'fake' builders
- —Public Glamsterdam testing is scheduled for Sepolia on October 6 and Hoodi on October 27
- —Clients must release software by September 29 — half the usual 14 days for review
- —An attacker can create multiple builders, inflate bids and withhold the payload
- —The Glamsterdam rehearsal ran with a gas limit of about 200 million without losing finality
Why it matters: Test failures could delay Glamsterdam's mainnet activation, on which Ethereum's scaling depends.
