The Ethereum Foundation warned on Monday about potential breakages of some wallets, indexers and gas estimators with the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade. Changes to the gas model, including the introduction by EIP-8037 of a separate state-gas dimension for operations creating new state, could affect tools relying on hardcoded maximum gas limits. The public testnet Plataberget, operational since Aug. 13, provides developers with a dedicated environment to test their systems’ compatibility before the upgrade is deployed on other testnets and mainnet. A standard ETH transfer to an existing account will still cost 21,000 gas, while sending ETH to a new account will incur additional state-gas charges. Glamsterdam also includes enshrined proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists and increased limits for contract and initialization-code sizes.
