Prysm Ships 200M Gas Limit Fix Ahead of Glamsterdam Test

Ethereum client Prysm released version 7.2.1, setting its validators to Sepolia’s new 200 million gas limit by default, hours before the Glamsterdam test. The previous version left the limit at 60 million unless operators changed it manually. The change aligns Prysm validators with Sepolia’s updated gas limit ahead of the test.

AI take

This is really a coordination story rather than a client-release story. By hard-coding the new limit as the default, Prysm removes the manual step that previously left operators behind, which matters because a gas-limit change only takes effect if enough validators actually adopt it. The practical effect is that Sepolia's test now reflects operator defaults rather than operator diligence, a meaningful distinction for how future network-parameter changes get rolled out. Whether other clients follow with similar default changes is the open question worth watching.
