Ethereum Fixes Issues Before Glamsterdam Upgrade, Sepolia Testnet Gas Limit Raised to 200 Million

The Ethereum development team completed an emergency software update before the Glamsterdam upgrade testing on the Sepolia testnet, fixing an issue that caused some validators to generate low-capacity blocks. This test will raise the Gas limit on the Sepolia network from approximately 60 million to 200 million to verify Ethereum's future network processing capabilities. Glamsterdam is the next significant upgrade for Ethereum, and Sepolia, as a test network, will be the first to deploy the related improvements to simulate the upgrade effects. Gas is a unit that measures the computational capacity that Ethereum blocks can handle, and increasing the Gas limit means that individual blocks can accommodate more transactions and more complex on-chain operations, but it will also increase the computational pressure on the running nodes. The Ethereum validator client Prysm released version 7.2.1 on Monday evening, adding the configuration for the 200 million Gas limit. If validators do not manually modify their settings, they will continue to operate under the 60 million Gas limit. This update ensures that validating nodes can participate in the Glamsterdam test as expected.
