The Ethereum Sepolia testnet has increased its block gas limit to nearly 200 million, tripling the capacity currently available on the main network.

The Prysm team released version 7.2.1 to prepare for the Glamsterdam update in the Sepolia testnet, introducing an automated 200 million gas limit.

The Ethereum Sepolia testnet has launched the Glamsterdam upgrade, introducing enshrined proposer-builder separation and an optional increase in the gas limit to 200 million.

BNB Smart Chain validators are increasing the block gas limit to 70 million by September 15 to address high network utilization.
