Glamsterdam Upgrade May Break Some Ethereum Tools and Wallets

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has issued a warning that some tools may break due to gas-model changes in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade.

The EF's Protocol DevOps team stated that any tool relying on a hardcoded maximum gas limit 'will break' and must be updated.

The upgrades, scheduled for Thursday, include EIP-8037, which introduces a separate state-gas dimension for operations that create new state.

This means that sending ETH to a new account will incur an additional state-gas charge, while a plain ETH transfer to an existing account would still cost 21,000 gas.
