Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade could ease DeFi congestion, Curve says

  • —A leveraged borrow used 1.84 million gas on mainnet versus 125,000 for a stablecoin swap
  • —Ethereum developers prepared a 200 million gas test without committing mainnet to that limit
  • —Curve warned that repriced state operations could raise gas requirements for some transactions
  • —Curve ties liquidation and LLAMMA benefits to how fast transactions get included in blocks
Why it matters: More blockspace could cut costs and delays for complex DeFi operations, though some transactions may get more expensive under the new gas pricing.
