May 2nd — The Ethereum Foundation has released a recap of its Sold?gn Interop event. In late April 2026, over 100 Ethereum core developers gathered for the Sold?gn interoperability gathering, focused on the upcoming Glamsterdam network upgrade. The event hit three key milestones: 1. Setting a post-upgrade gas limit floor of 200 million; 2. Achieving multi-client stability for ePBS (which supports external block builders); 3. Implementing the EIP-8037 gas repricing parameter. Additional progress included block access list optimization, decisions on multiple Glamsterdam-related EIPs, and laying groundwork for future features like FOCIL for Hegotá and native account abstraction. Through intensive coding, stress testing, and breakout discussions, the team built a stable devnet, resolved dozens of cross-client edge cases, optimized state growth controls and execution efficiency, and provided reliable data to support secure throughput increases.
