- Mantle Elysium Advances to Hoodi Testnet with 200M Gas Limit Upgrade — this brief
Mantle's Elysium upgrade has been deployed on the Hoodi testnet as of October 26, following its initial activation on the Sepolia testnet on October 6. This progression is part of a broader effort to enhance 
Ethereum's scalability and transaction efficiency.
The upgrade introduces a 200 million gas limit, parallel execution capabilities, and faster block processing times. These changes are designed to improve the network's capacity to handle a higher volume of transactions more quickly and cost-effectively.
The testing phase on Hoodi is crucial for identifying potential issues and optimizing performance before a possible deployment on the Ethereum mainnet. This step is significant for developers and users who stand to benefit from improved network performance.
According to DeFiLlama, Mantle's Total Value Locked (TVL) currently stands at $154.46 million, marking a 1.4% decrease over the past week. This figure reflects the network's position in the broader DeFi landscape, which is experiencing a period of market downturn.
In the current market context, with the total crypto market cap at $2.79 trillion and 
Bitcoin down 3.96% in the last 24 hours, Mantle's MNT token has seen a 4.57% decrease in the same period but remains up 1.11% over the last seven days.

The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹248,037.23 (about $2,376.86), down 5.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
