Ethereum confirms Glamsterdam dates, but warns 'fake' builders could stall the chain

Why now

Thesis: Upgrade timing plus fake-builder warning raises execution and security risk.

Catalyst to watch: Client review completion or builder verification progress.

Main risk: Fake builders or shortened review stall the chain.

Why it matters

Protocol upgrade timing plus warnings about fake builders and shortened client review time raise execution and security risk for Ethereum's roadmap.

Details

Free test ether lets fake builders outbid rivals and withhold transaction payloads, while client teams get half the usual review time before Sepolia.
