Ethereum core developer Terence said the Glamsterdam upgrade is now live on developer testnet devnet-7, marking fresh progress in the path toward public testnet deployment. The update includes changes on both the consensus and execution layers. On the consensus side, devnet-7 brings in EIP-7688, described as progressive containers, along with updated payload deadline settings and builder lifecycle parameters. On the execution side, the rollout covers EIP-2780, EIP-8037, EIP-7928, EIP-8038 and EIP-8282. Terence said EIP-8037 moves state-dependent charging from intrinsic Gas to runtime, while EIP-7928 and EIP-8038 address BAL and SSTORE access ordering. EIP-8282 covers finalization for builder deposit and exit contracts. The announcement points to another step forward for Glamsterdam testing.

Ethereum core developer Terence announced the launch of Glamsterdam devnet-6, marking significant progress in testnet advancement. The release centers on EIP-8282, which implements ePBS builder execution requests along with two new system contracts. On the execution layer, based on post-bal-devnet-7, new EIPs were added: 2780, 8038 (repricing), 7997, 8246, and 8070 (optional). Additionally, modifications were made to EIP-7954 (64 KiB), 8037 (source-based refunds), and 7928 (BAL×7702 prewarming status quo). This update is a crucial step toward the next Ethereum upgrade.
