Ethereum Developers Prepare for Fusaka and Glamsterdam Upgrades

Ethereum developers have begun preparing for two significant upgrades, Fusaka and Glamsterdam. At their 222nd Execution Layer Core Developer Meeting, Christine Kim summarized the discussion as developers initiated a shadow fork of the Sepolia testnet to facilitate the Fusaka upgrade. This crucial update is scheduled for October 14th. llowing this event, the meeting focused on the Glamsterdam network upgrade with three key changes outlined: **first**, block-level access lists (EIP 7928), a multi-client testnet launch expected next week; **second**, gas pricing reforms including a storage tax mechanism (EIP 8032) aimed at curbing state growth through dynamic pricing; and **third**, a new opcode (EIP 7791) to facilitate direct conversion of Gas to ETH. The proposal deadline for Glamsterdam is set for one week after the Fusaka mainnet date is confirmed. Additionally, the Holesky testnet will be deprecated by the end of this month.
