Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled for Beijing time October 27 early morning activation on the Hoodi testnet
PANews October 20 reported, citing the Ethereum Foundation’s October 16 announcement, that the Glamsterdam upgrade is planned for October 26 to be activated on the Hoodi testnet 17: 42: 48（UTC), corresponding to Beijing time October 27; 01: 42: 48, on the Hoodi testnet; at that time, Hoodi’s block Gas limit will also be raised to 200000000. The upgrade includes enshrined proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists, and adjustments to Gas pricing. The Sepolia testnet was activated on October 6. The upgrade date for the Ethereum mainnet has not yet been determined. Node operators need to update their execution-layer and consensus-layer clients before activation on Hoodi.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is a testnet upgrade arrangement. Hoodi will first enable the Glamsterdam upgrade and adjust the block Gas limit at the same time; node operators need to update both types of clients in advance. The material also explicitly states that when the Ethereum mainnet will be upgraded remains undetermined.
Why it matters to readers
Activation on the Hoodi testnet can be used to observe the upgrade contents, client compatibility, and operations after the Gas limit adjustment, but the material does not explain its actual impact on the mainnet or the market.
Ordinary users generally do not need to take action; if you operate a Hoodi node, you need to update the execution-layer and consensus-layer clients before activation. Do not mistake the testnet activation time for the mainnet upgrade time.
Risks and unknowns
The upgrade date for the Ethereum mainnet has not yet been determined.
The material is PANews’s account of an announcement by the Ethereum Foundation and does not provide the original link to that announcement.
It is not yet clear whether Hoodi will complete activation as planned or how the network will operate after activation.
