Ethereum postpones Glamsterdam test due to risk to existing smart contracts

Ethereum developers postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi test network because security researchers found that proposed gas-accounting changes, specifically EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, could alter how existing smart contracts handle failed transactions. ChainSecurity's analysis on Oct. 13 showed that these changes might leave some contracts with unexpected gas amounts, potentially making errors permanent or causing valid operations to fail. No replacement date has been announced for the Hoodi test or its planned 200 million gas limit, and the mainnet upgrade date remains unconfirmed.
