Glamsterdam upgrade incoming—and it's about to hit your wallet differently.
New $ETH addresses = higher gas fees
Existing addresses = same old rates
Basically, if you're sending to a fresh wallet, expect to pay more. If it's an address you've hit before, you're good.
This is Ethereum's way of pricing in state bloat. More addresses = bigger database = more expensive to maintain. Makes sense from a protocol perspective, but it's gonna sting for airdrops, first-time payments, and onboarding new users.
Watch how this plays out for protocols doing mass distributions. Gas optimization just became even more critical.
