Ethereum Foundation: Key goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade are basically completed, consensus reached on the 200 million Gas Limit lower limit

The Ethereum Foundation published a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, which has now basically completed the key goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade, including reaching consensus on the post-upgrade 200 million Gas Limit lower bound, achieving stable operation of the ePBS external Builder process, and finalizing the EIP-8037 Gas repricing parameters.

The focus of the Glamsterdam upgrade is to enhance security by increasing the Gas Limit to expand Ethereum's throughput, while EIP-8037 will prevent state bloat caused by a high Gas Limit by raising the cost of state creation. The Ethereum Foundation also stated that most clients have completed stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the entire external Builder process. Additionally, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and Hegotá upgrade-related features. In the coming weeks, core developers will continue to advance client hardening, testing improvements, and code merging, with final parameters to be publicly confirmed in the AllCoreDevs meeting.
