Ethereum Foundation Confirms Glamsterdam Upgrade Dates

The Ethereum Foundation has confirmed the dates for the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, a major overhaul of the cryptocurrency's blockchain network.

The test date for the upgrade is set for October 6, but this will only be a 'dress rehearsal' for the final Glamsterdam upgrade, which will happen once developers are sure everything works properly.

Glamsterdam is designed to fit more activity into each block without overwhelming the computers that verify it, creating room for more payments and trades across the Ethereum blockchain before users begin bidding fees higher.
