Ethereum News: Glamsterdam Sepolia Test Set for October 6

In the latest Ethereum news, the network’s Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled to activate on Sepolia on October 6, 2026, at 13:53:36 UTC. This will test EIP-7732’s move of proposer-builder separation and settlement into the consensus protocol. The activation is set for epoch 353,024, slot 11,296,768; Glamsterdam combines the Amsterdam execution-layer upgrade with Gloas on the consensus layer. Hoodi and mainnet activation dates have not been decided, so the schedule is for Sepolia only. This is not simply a testnet date. It is a trial run for new protocol rules governing an exchange that has long depended on trusted middleware. Builder commitments, payload reveals, and proposer payments move closer to Ethereum’s consensus process. JUST IN: Ethereum confirms the Glamsterdam upgrade will go live on Sepolia on October 6, bringing ePBS and Block Access Lists to the network. pic.twitter.com/onq6ezfyCV — The Moon Show (@TheMoonShow) September 29, 2026 Sign Up With MergeX And Trade CryptoDISCOVER: Polymarket’s $5M Market Puts Democrats Ahead in 2026 Ethereum Glamsterdam: How EIP-7732 Changes Block Production Under EIP-7732’s proposer-builder design, a proposer places a builder’s commitment t...
