Ethereum’s Protocol DevOps team has announced Platåberget, a temporary public network for testing Glamsterdam. The team intends it to run for a few months, giving developers more time to work than a short-lived development network would.
The announcement identifies changes to block construction and validation, block-level access lists, and contract-size rules. It specifically warns that tools with a hardcoded maximum gas limit need attention.
Platåberget is a test environment. Its availability does not mean Glamsterdam has activated on Ethereum’s main network. The source explains the intended role of this network before testing moves to longer-lived environments and provides links for developers who need the technical details.
