Prysm, a core Ethereum validator client, has released a v7.2.1 patch to support the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade rehearsal on the Sepolia testnet. The test will raise Sepolia’s per-block gas limit from roughly 60 million to 200 million gas, a sharp increase designed to examine how validator hardware performs under more than triple the current load. The exercise is also intended to help assess whether similar scaling changes could be feasible on Ethereum mainnet. Officials said the 200 million gas limit is only being applied on Sepolia for now and has not gone live on Ethereum mainnet. The item was carried by Techub News and cited Wu Blockchain as the source noted in the brief.
Techub News reported that Prysm, a core Ethereum validator client, has released a v7.2.1 patch to align with the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade rehearsal on the Sepolia testnet.
Under the test plan, Sepolia’s per-block gas limit will be lifted from about 60 million to 200 million gas. The goal is to measure how validator hardware holds up under a load that is more than three times higher, while also evaluating whether similar scaling could be workable for Ethereum mainnet.
Officials said the 200 million gas limit applies only to the Sepolia testnet at this stage and has not been introduced on Ethereum mainnet. The brief cited Wu Blockchain.
