Ethereum\u2019s Glamsterdam upgrade went live on the Sepolia testnet Tuesday, marking another milestone in the network\u2019s Layer 1 scaling roadmap.<\/p>\n

The deployment allows developers, application teams, and infrastructure providers to test compatibility with the changes before a potential mainnet release.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ETH\u2019s technical structure remained constructive in the supplied market snapshot, although derivatives liquidations highlighted pressure on leveraged long positions.<\/p>\n

Glamsterdam begins Sepolia testing after Prysm update<\/h2>\n

Ethereum community contributor Pooja Ranjan confirmed the Sepolia launch in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Testnets provide environments where developers can evaluate network changes and identify compatibility problems before deploying them on mainnet.<\/p>\n

Glamsterdam combines the Amsterdam execution-layer upgrade with the Gloas consensus-layer upgrade. It includes 18 core Ethereum Improvement Proposals and seven supporting networking and informational proposals.<\/p>\n

Ahead of activation, Ethereum client Prysm released a last-minute update to automatically apply the new gas limit for Sepolia validators.<\/p>\n

The deployment now allows ecosystem participants to assess how their software and services perform under the upgraded rules.<\/p>\n

Two central components of Glamsterdam are enshrined proposer-builder separation, or ePBS, and block-level access lists, known as BALs.<\/p>\n

According to the Ethereum Foundation, these changes lay the groundwork for higher execution capacity while keeping block verification practical for node operators.<\/p>\n

The upgrade also increases the gas limit from 60 million to 200 million. Gas measures the computational work required to execute Ethereum transactions, and a higher limit allows more work to fit within each block.<\/p>\n

That creates capacity for additional transactions and more complex computations, although actual transaction throughput depends on the workload being processed.<\/p>\n

If the upgrade performs reliably on Sepolia, developers will determine a deployment date for the Hoodi testnet before considering mainnet activation. The supplied report does not identify a confirmed mainnet launch date.<\/p>\n

Separately, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin discussed the relationship between AI and blockchain applications at the OKX NOW event Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He said onchain applications are likely to become increasingly integrated with AI over the next two years, with bots potentially handling most front-end interactions.<\/p>\n

Buterin also noted that AI introduces structural changes. His remarks point to a potential shift in how users access blockchain services as automated systems take on more interactions.<\/p>\n

Ethereum recorded $175.1 million in liquidations<\/a> over the preceding 24 hours, according to CoinGlass figures.<\/p>\n

Long liquidations accounted for $164.91 million of that total, indicating that bullish leveraged positions bore most of the losses.<\/p>\n

Despite that pressure, ETH remained above its 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages in the supplied daily-chart analysis.<\/p>\n

The 14-day Relative Strength Index hovered around 60, suggesting positive momentum without reaching conventional overbought territory.<\/p>\n

ETH price outlook: Ethereum drops below the $2,656 support <\/h2>\n

The ETH\/USD daily chart remains bullish despite dropping below the immediate support at the 20-day EMA near $2,656. <\/p>\n

Dropping below that level now makes it tougher for the bulls to reclaim the resistance around $2,781.<\/p>\n

However, if the bulls reclaim the $2,781 resistance, it would bring higher resistance levels at $3,075 and $3,260 into focus.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

On the downside, by losing the 20-day EMA horizontal support at $2,631, the bears would likely seek to push ETH lower towards $2,558. <\/p>\n

The 50-day EMA near $2,500 provides another reference point if selling intensifies. Further support lies at $2,363, followed by the 100-day EMA around $2,329.<\/p>\n
