Ethereum's Glamsterdam Devnet 8 began with 84,000 genesis validators and a schedule to test a 200 million gas limit, moving the planned upgrade from benchmark sign-off into live network testing.
A new Ethereum proposal would let validators redirect up to 10% of staking revenue to public goods, potentially raising 50,000 to 70,000 ETH annually.
Ethereum researchers proposed an XMSS public-key registry for validators, a first concrete post-quantum migration step as Ethereum courts tokenized finance.
