Prysm rolls out v7.2.1 patch ahead of Sepolia gas limit increase test

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.
