The Ethereum Foundation issued a reminder that the Glamsterdam upgrade will include adjustments to Gas fees (EIP-8037 and EIP-8038), involving changes to the costs of state creation and access. Most contracts will not be affected, but some contracts that rely on hard-coded Gas values and other old assumptions may need to be updated; otherwise, they may fail or experience performance degradation.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform that as the market warms up, the weekly burn rate of UNI has reached an all-time high, with an annualized burn rate of 31 million UNI (approximately 113 million USD) and it is still growing.He stated that the team continued to build during the bear market and is now seeing early results in the bull market.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) warns that changes to the Gas model in the Glamsterdam upgrade may cause some wallets, indexers, and Gas estimation tools to become ineffective. The EF Protocol DevOps team stated that tools relying on hard-coded maximum Gas limits will fail, and developers need to update relevant systems and test on the Plataberget public testnet.Plataberget went live on August 13 and is planned to run for several months. The Glamsterdam fork is scheduled to activate on the Ethereum network on Thursday, followed by deployment to the Sepolia and Hoodi testnets. EIP-8037 will introduce an independent state Gas dimension for operations that create new states. Transferring ETH to existing accounts will still require 21,000 Gas, while transferring to new accounts will incur additional state Gas; developers should also re-evaluate software that considers 21,000 Gas as the total cost for all ETH transfers or only uses a single Gas dimension to estimate transaction fees.

The Ethereum Foundation's DevOps team announced the launch of the Platåberget testnet as an early public testing environment for the Glamsterdam (Gloas + Amsterdam) upgrade. This testnet is open to the community and is planned to run for several months, providing developers with a stable experimental platform to identify and fix issues before the upgrade is deployed to long-term testnets like Sepolia and Hoodi. The Glamsterdam hard fork is scheduled to activate on August 20 on this testnet.The Glamsterdam upgrade includes several significant changes to both the consensus layer and execution layer, including built-in proposer-builder separation (ePBS), block-level access lists (BALs), gas repricing targeting approximately 200 million gas, an increase in the maximum contract deployment size from 24KiB to 64KiB, an increase in the initcode limit from 48KiB to 128KiB, and forward-compatible consensus data structures. Relevant EIPs are summarized in meta EIP-7773. Gas repricing will affect wallets, indexers, and gas estimation tools, and any tools with hard-coded maximum gas limits will need to be updated; EIP-8037 also introduces an independent state gas dimension, where new accounts or writing to new storage slots will be charged by state bytes.The Platåberget validator set is small and allows public participation, supporting deposits from validators or builders submitted through the Dora browser. The testnet provides one-click resources to add networks, faucets, and client images. The community can provide feedback on issues in the Ethereum R&D Discord and related specification repositories.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back criticized the arguments of BIP-110 supporters, stating that the claim "Bitcoin supports spam data" is incorrect, and that all Bitcoin participants dislike network spam data. Adam Back pointed out that Bitcoin cannot achieve absolute censorship at a mathematical level, and that the BIP-110 proposal itself has many flaws that prevent it from functioning effectively, thus it has not gained network consensus. He emphasized that forcibly pushing rule changes without consensus could ultimately lead to a fork similar to Bitcoin SV (BSV).Previously, BIP-110 sparked community controversy for attempting to limit non-financial data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain. Supporters of the proposal planned to push for rule changes through a user-activated soft fork (UASF), but currently, miner support has not reached the activation requirement, and the market is concerned whether this controversy will further evolve into a split in Bitcoin network governance.

According to Wired, a security researcher who has been infiltrating a North Korean hacking organization for nearly two years has issued a warning, pointing out that the attack methods targeting individual employees and contractors are extremely effective and have a wide-ranging impact, leading to numerous organizations worldwide suffering breaches.Greek cybersecurity researcher Vangelis Stykas stated that since gaining access to the North Korean system 22 months ago, he has found evidence indicating that 1,640 companies in 57 countries have been affected by North Korean hacking operations. Among them, approximately 700 to 800 affected organizations have suffered "highly destructive" breaches.

According to CoinDesk, Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association and former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), published an article responding to the Wall Street Journal's editorial on August 4, accusing it of a fundamental misreading of the Clarity Act.Mersinger stated that the bill explicitly prohibits stablecoin rewards that are equivalent to bank deposit interest but allows for rewards similar to credit card points and user behavior-based incentive mechanisms. From the perspective of DeFi regulation, Section 10301 of the bill requires the SEC to establish regulatory rules for protocols that are "nominally decentralized and substantially controllable," which does not equate to regulatory exemption; Section 10201 includes digital commodity brokers under all reporting obligations of the Bank Secrecy Act and allocates $3 billion for state-level enforcement, contrary to the Wall Street Journal's accusations of insufficient regulation of illegal finance.Addressing concerns about the "shadow market" for tokenized securities, Mersinger emphasized that Section 10505 of the bill clearly states that securities remain subject to SEC oversight even after settlement on the blockchain. She believes that the Wall Street Journal is essentially defending the monopoly position of traditional financial institutions, which conflicts with the free market principles that the paper has consistently advocated.
