Glamsterdam on Hoodi, scheduled for Monday October 26, has been postponed. No new date has been set yet.
This is what testnets are for. Core developers found something worth a closer look, and catching it before mainnet is the process working as intended.
We will share the new date and livestream once they are set.
🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨
Glamsterdam goes live on Hoodi on Monday!
This is the second and final testnet fork before mainnet, following Sepolia on October 6. Once Hoodi forks smoothly, the next step is setting a mainnet date.

The first Ethereum testnet forks to Glamsterdam tomorrow!
A smooth fork will be followed by a fork to Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, then mainnet. After this fork, we'll have a pretty good idea of when we're going live on mainnet.
The headliners are enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS, EIP-7732) and block-level access lists (BAL, EIP-7928), and some other highlights are an increase in the max contract size and faster consolidation queues.

big event in ethereum land today:
1️⃣ frame txs confirmed as a headliner for hegota (the upgrade following glamsterdam)
2️⃣ client teams presented their EIP preferences, then immediately began whittling down the list of candidates. future meetings will identify which to CFI
Following up on our execution EIP tier list, we wanted to share our combined execution and consensus rankings for Hegota. We've followed the same EF Protocol scoring system and tier definitions for both lists.
We'd also like to make a special mention of the post-quantum-ready deposit contract proposal. It didn't make it onto the Hegota EIP selection list, but we think proposals like this one should be included in the fork to prepare validator deposits for future post-quantum credentials.
We'll expand on our thoughts about Hegota and the reasoning behind our rankings in the blog post we're preparing.
Hegota should be a small fork that ships fast.
The Lodestar team ranked the proposed consensus-layer EIPs. Here's where we think the priorities belong.
S: must ship
A: strongly support
B: support if the timeline allows
C: support with qualifications
We believe Ethereum upgrades could benefit from a tick-tock cadence.
Glamsterdam is the big upcoming "tick": ambitious, complex, and feature-heavy. With it shipping shortly, we think Hegotá should be the shorter "tock" focused on maintenance, cleaning up technical debt, and making a few targeted improvements ahead of the next major upgrade.
Alongside FOCIL, we favor proposals with clear near-term benefits and low implementation and testing complexity. More ambitious changes should wait for the next "tick".
Our consensus-layer EIP rankings are below. For more details on the reasoning behind each ranking, read the linked article 👇

We reviewed all 60+ EIPs proposed for Hegotá and updated our view on what Ethereum should prioritize.
Our rankings follow four themes:
1. Stronger censorship resistance: Ethereum can only become a settlement layer for everyone if it stays neutral toward everyone. We strongly support FOCIL.
2. Faster Ethereum: Shorter slots mean faster confirmations, fresher onchain prices, and faster finality. We strongly recommend Quick Slots to make a first reduction in Hegotá and further reductions easier in subsequent forks.
3. Native account abstraction: Ethereum is long-due for native AA. Frame Transactions bring passkey wallets, sponsored transactions, gas paid in tokens, batching, and better support for privacy and post-quantum security. Adoption will take work across wallets, L2s, and the rest of the stack, and we intend to keep helping with that.
4. Performance engineering: continued L1 scaling & a faster Ethereum. Performance should remain a first-class concern in both client work and protocol design. The gains can go toward more capacity, shorter slots, lower node requirements, or all three.
Thanks to everyone who put forward proposals and helped us work through them. We’ll keep updating our view as client and testing teams assess the work involved.
