TREE NEWS reports: The Ethereum Foundation has launched the Platåberget testnet, opening public testing before the Glamsterdam upgrade fork scheduled for August 20. This move allows developers to test the upcoming network changes in a sandboxed environment.
Ethereum Foundation Launches Platåberget Testnet Ahead of Glamsterdam Upgrade
A public testnet this far ahead of a scheduled fork signals the Foundation wants broader client and application testing rather than a closed rehearsal, which matters for teams whose contracts or infrastructure touch the changes. The August 20 fork date is now the anchor everyone downstream — client teams, tooling providers, app developers — will work backward from. Whether Platåberget surfaces issues early enough to adjust before that date is the open question.
