Ethereum Foundation: Glamsterdam Upgrade May Cause Some Wallets, Indexers, and Gas Estimation Tools to Fail

Odaily News: The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has warned that the Gas model changes in the Glamsterdam upgrade could cause some wallets, indexers, and gas estimation tools to fail. The EF Protocol DevOps team stated that tools relying on hardcoded maximum Gas limits will fail, and developers need to update related systems and conduct testing on the Plataberget public testnet.
Plataberget went live on August 13 and is planned to run for several months. The Glamsterdam fork is scheduled to activate on the Ethereum network on Thursday, followed by deployment to the Sepolia and Hoodi testnets.
EIP-8037 will introduce a separate state Gas dimension for operations that create new state. Transferring ETH to an existing account still requires 21,000 Gas, while transferring to a new account requires additional state Gas; developers should also re-examine software that treats 21,000 Gas as the cost for all ETH transfers, or that estimates transaction fees using only a single Gas dimension.
