The Ethereum ($ETH ) Foundation just opened Platåberget , the first public testnet for the Glamsterdam upgrade, with the hard fork set to go live on August 20. This is the biggest L1 tune-up since The Merge, and it's not about meme coins or hype — it's about giving Ethereum more execution capacity while stripping power from MEV cartels. Three things actually matter here. First, ePBS (enshrined proposer-builder separation) removes the builder middlemen that have been extracting value and centralizing block production — validators keep more, cartels lose their grip. Second, gas repricing toward a ~200M gas floor roughly triples the blockspace per block, which means cheaper and more efficient L2s on top. Third, contract size jumps from 24KiB to 64KiB , so developers can ship far more complex on-chain logic. For devs, there's a catch: hardcoded gas limits are about to break, and meta EIP-7773 is the heads-up for wallets, indexers, and gas estimators. History has a pattern: every time Ethereum ships a major capacity upgrade, the L1-native names re-rate for weeks. This fork is exactly that kind of catalyst — and it's still underpriced. The LONG 1H setup — $LINK 💥Entries at $9.47–$9.52  💥Stop at $9.40 below the Aug 17 low. 💥Targets are $9.62, then $9.72 (the Aug 15 high), then $9.85. #ethereumfoundationlaunchesglamsterdamtestnet #DollarFallsTo10WeekLow #ColdcardWalletLossesExceed$115M #IAEAToRemoveNuclearMaterialFromSyriaSite #CryptoStartupsRaise$11.2BInH1
