Ethereum developers have launched devnets containing all planned EIPs for Glamsterdam, the final stage before testnet. The upgrade is described as the largest since the Merge.
• EIP-7732: built-in proposer-builder separation to reduce MEV
• EIP-7928: block-level access lists for improved execution efficiency
• Gas repricing: lower costs for high-computation operations, higher costs for state management
Matters because: Glamsterdam could meaningfully change Ethereum’s fee economics and MEV landscape, and progress toward an H2 2026 mainnet may support ETH sentiment.
