PANews reported on May 2nd that the Ethereum Foundation officially reviewed Soldøgn Interop, stating that over the past week, more than 100 Ethereum core contributors gathered in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway, to advance the Glamsterdam network upgrade and achieve three core objectives: reaching a consensus of 200 million (200M) on the lower limit of the upgraded Gas Limit, implementing a stable ePBS (enshrined PBS) external Builder process, and finalizing the EIP-8037 Gas Repricing parameters.
The Ethereum Foundation stated that the Glamsterdam upgrade focuses on securely improving the Gas Limit to expand Ethereum's throughput. Specifically, ePBS improves the block execution time window by restructuring the proposer/builder relationship, BAL (Block-Level Access Lists) optimization enhances parallel execution and I/O efficiency, and EIP-8037 prevents high Gas Limits from causing infinite state expansion by increasing state creation costs. As of this Friday, most clients have achieved stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the entire external Builder process. The team believes that the 200M Gas Limit lower bound now has a reliable foundation.
In addition, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, Native Account Abstraction, and future Hegotá upgrade-related features. The Ethereum Foundation stated that core developers will continue to work on client hardening, testing improvements, and code merging in the coming weeks, with final parameters to be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs conference.
