Ethereum opens Platåberget testnet for Glamsterdam upgrade

  • The upgrade includes ePBS, block access lists and Gas repricing aimed at cutting the Gas limit to about 200 million
  • Maximum contract size will rise from 24 KiB to 64 KiB, init code from 48 KiB to 128 KiB
  • Tools with hardcoded Gas limits (wallets, indexers, estimators) will stop working
  • EIP-8037 introduces a separate state gas dimension: sending to a new address will cost more than 21,000 Gas
Why it matters: It is Ethereum's biggest change to block building and its Gas model; wallet and dApp developers need to adapt their tools before mainnet.
