Ethereum client patches hours before Sepolia block capacity increase

Reported · Written up by our desk · Market Structure

According to CoinDesk, one of Ethereum’s main validator clients pushed a software update hours before a Sepolia test.

The test is designed to raise the amount of work each block can hold to 200 million gas, according to the report.

CoinDesk said the update was made as a last-minute fix ahead of that capacity jump during the Sepolia test.
