Ethereum Platåberget Testnet: What Glamsterdam Builders Need to Test
The temporary public testnet gives Ethereum teams several months to identify breaking assumptions before Glamsterdam reaches longer-lived test networks.
Platåberget is Ethereum’s temporary public testing ground for changes planned after the Glamsterdam upgrade. Unlike short-lived development networks, it is intended to run for several months so application and infrastructure teams have time to test realistic workflows.
Who should participate
Wallet developers, indexers, RPC providers, gas estimators and smart-contract teams should pay particular attention. Ethereum’s Protocol DevOps team warns that tools relying on a hardcoded maximum gas limit will need updates.
What to test
Teams should replay representative transactions, validate gas estimation, inspect state-access assumptions and test deposit or validator workflows. Contract maintainers should identify hardcoded gas values and confirm that frontends supply adequate transaction limits.
How to get started
The Ethereum Foundation provides network configuration instructions and a faucet for test ETH. Testnet assets have no monetary value. Developers should document failures and follow the All Core Developers process as specifications evolve.
