Ethereum postpones Glamsterdam upgrade on test network amid 13 identified security risks

Ethereum developers postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet after identifying 13 potential security risks affecting existing smart contracts. The postponement, confirmed by the Ethereum Foundation on Oct. 22, is due to concerns over how proposed changes to Ethereum's gas-accounting system, specifically EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, could impact deployed applications. These proposals aim to increase transaction capacity, but ChainSecurity reported vulnerabilities that could undermine safeguards for failed transactions, affecting decentralized finance applications.
