Ethereum Reports Disagree on Gas-Repricing EIP Number

1 min readPublished 18 Aug 2026Updated 18 Aug 2026, 00:45 UTC

All three outlets describe the same Platåberget testnet launch and Glamsterdam fork, but Blockchain.News cites a different EIP number for the gas-repricing feature than Cryptopolitan and Crypto Economy.

What all sources agree on

The Platåberget testnet went live on August 17, with the Glamsterdam fork scheduled for August 20.
Glamsterdam introduces enshrined proposer-builder separation (EIP-7732) and block-level access lists (EIP-7928).
According to Everstake, about 88% of Ethereum blocks are currently assembled off-chain through MEV-Boost relays.
A community feedback and client-update period of roughly one month is expected before Glamsterdam progresses to Sepolia and Hoodi testnets.

Where the reports disagree

1EIP identifier for the gas-repricing / state gas dimension feature

The Foundation pointed developers to EIP-8037, which introduces the state gas dimension, plus EIP-2780 and EIP-8038 for the decomposed costs.

Developers were directed to EIP-8037, which introduces the state gas dimension, and to EIP-2780 and EIP-8038, which break down the associated costs.

Crypto Economy 2026-08-17 16:33

Gas Repricing (EIP-8007): Adjusts gas costs to target a ~200M gas floor, posing challenges for any tool that hardcodes gas limits.

Blockchain.News 2026-08-17 10:03

What would settle it: The Ethereum Foundation’s official Glamsterdam EIP tracker or specification repository listing the finalized EIP numbers.

What to make of it

Treat the Platåberget launch date, fork date, and the 88% MEV-Boost figure as established across all three reports; hold off on citing a specific EIP number for the gas-repricing feature until the Ethereum Foundation’s own EIP tracker confirms which identifier is correct.
