#EthereumFoundationLaunchesGlamsterdamTestnet The **#EthereumFoundationLaunchesGlamsterdamTestnet** hashtag marks the rollout of **Platåberget**, the first public testnet for Ethereum’s upcoming major upgrade, **Glamsterdam**.
---
**Key Technical Highlights**
* **Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS):** Integrates builder-proposer separation directly into the protocol to minimize third-party middleman extraction (MEV) and reduce block production centralization.
* **Gas Floor Expansion (~200M Floor):** Significantly increases block execution capacity and blockspace, aiming to drastically lower baseline gas fees and boost Layer 2 throughput.
* **Smart Contract Size Limits:** Max contract deployment size expands from 24 KiB to 64 KiB, allowing developers to deploy much more complex on-chain logic natively.
* **Developer Considerations:** Developers, wallet providers, and indexers need to audit smart contracts with hardcoded gas assumptions before mainnet deployment.
