Ethereum lines up two upgrades: Glamsterdam hits Sepolia on Oct 6, Hegotá targets Q2 2026
- —Glamsterdam deploys to Sepolia on Oct 6; client teams must ship new versions by Sept 29
- —Hoodi testnet deployment is tentatively set for Oct 27, with a go/no-go decision on Oct 8
- —Glamsterdam's core features are ePBS and BAL for parallel transaction processing
- —Hegotá will add FOCIL and EIP-8141 frame transactions, with an integrated devnet eyed for October
Why it matters: The upgrades reshape Ethereum's architecture: ePBS and BAL boost throughput, while frame transactions bring account abstraction to the protocol level.
