# Ethereum Daily — September 3, 2026

# Ethereum Daily — September 3, 2026

Covering roughly September 2 – September 3, 2026.

**Roadmap.** No confirmed change since yesterday, but today is the decision point: the All Core Devs Consensus call scheduled for September 3 is where client teams are expected to formally confirm the proposed September 28 Sepolia testnet fork date for Glamsterdam (still targeting ePBS, Block-Level Access Lists, and a ~200M gas limit). As of publishing, no readout from that call has appeared yet. Client-team preference lists for the fork's remaining scope are still due September 10, and mainnet activation remains pointed at Q4 2026.

**Governance.** No material new development since yesterday. EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) stays locked in as "Scheduled for Inclusion" for the Hegotá upgrade, the decision core developers made on August 28. The interoperability question with the rival EIP-8130 proposal — which is set to launch on Base in September, ahead of any mainnet AA — remains unresolved.

**Institutional and corporate adoption.** No new disclosure in the last 24 hours. Nothing followed on from Bitmine's treasury update covered in yesterday's post, and no other bank, fund, or corporate Ethereum announcement surfaced today.

**Stats.** ETH trades around $2,386, down roughly 2.1% on the day, extending the pullback from the ~$2,409 level in yesterday's post. The validator set kept growing: 905,286 active validators (up from 904,423), with 42.7 million ETH staked (34.99% of supply, up from 34.93%). The entry queue grew slightly to 2,093,340 ETH at a 36-day, 8-hour wait. The exit queue, which opened up to 12,386 ETH yesterday, has since drained sharply back down to just 256 ETH with a 6-minute wait — that brief exit pressure looks to have been a one-day blip rather than a trend. Gas held steady at 0.042 gwei average. Ethereum DeFi TVL is roughly flat at $47.96 billion (-0.2% on the day) from $48.26 billion yesterday. ETF flows flipped negative again: September 2 posted a net outflow of $23.5 million, led by continued Grayscale ETHE redemptions; cumulative net inflows since launch stand at $13.04 billion.
