A host on Crypto Spaces Network opened the morning session by noting the fresh entry on the protocol calendar. The room turned to the ethereum.org update that placed the Glamsterdam Sepolia fork on October 6.

Thu Sep. 10, ethereum.org listed the Glamsterdam Sepolia testnet fork for October 6 2026. The date moved from September 28 following AllCoreDevs meeting 186. The mainnet window remains inside Q4 2026 without a confirmed day.

Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) added the new Sepolia date to the Doginal Dogs fork calendar. The pair kept the note brief and aligned with the official timeline.

Testing Window Details

Chainreport.co reported that the shift gives client teams extra weeks for stabilization after earlier devnet work. No change affects the broader Glamsterdam goals for execution and consensus layer improvements. The upgrade path stays on the published roadmap.

Mainnet activation stays targeted for the final quarter of the year. No exact date has been set, and further testnet milestones will shape the schedule. The focus remains on measured progress across client releases.

Market Snapshot

CoinGecko showed majors holding steady on Thursday afternoon. Bitcoin traded near 77229 after a 1.6 percent decline over 24 hours. Ethereum moved around 2467 with a 0.7 percent dip. XRP, SOL, and DOGE posted modest losses in the same window.

The session stayed centered on calendar mechanics rather than short-term price moves. Hosts noted that protocol dates provide structure while traders watch spot levels and upcoming data prints.

Daily Cadence on the Network

Regular hosts continued their morning and midday blocks across Crypto Spaces Network. The conversation wove the Sepolia date into ongoing coverage of testnet progress and client coordination. Listeners heard the update framed as a routine calendar adjustment.

The same hosts closed the segment by pointing back to the ethereum.org page and the Chainreport note for full context. No new mainnet timing emerged from the discussion.

The next steps for Glamsterdam rest on successful Sepolia execution and subsequent testnet phases. The calendar entry gives teams a clear near-term target without altering the overall quarterly window.
