Ethereum developers fear Glamsterdam test failure on Sepolia on October 6

  • The Glamsterdam test on Sepolia is set for October 6, with client releases due by September 29
  • ePBS (EIP-7732) introduces a builder auction with unconditional payment to the proposer
  • On the testnet, free ether allows a payload to be withheld at no cost
  • Builder whitelists and a minimum bid deposit are under discussion
Why it matters: A test failure could delay the activation of Glamsterdam on the Ethereum mainnet and the shift to a protocol-level builder market.
