Ethereum Postpones Glamsterdam Testing as Developers Warn of Contract Risks
Reported by Gadgets 360, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
WHY IT MATTERS
The postponement signals that the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade may contain vulnerabilities that could affect how Ethereum smart contracts execute, potentially impacting users and developers.
WHAT HAPPENED
Ethereum developers have delayed the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet while investigating risks linked to proposed gas accounting changes. Security firm ChainSecurity found that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 could alter how contracts handle failed operations and storage creation. Although the researchers demonstrated the potential issues, they have not publicly identified a production protocol affected by the vulnerability.
WHAT TO WATCH
- •Updates from the Hoodi testnet on whether the identified risks are mitigated
- •Any revisions to EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 before a mainnet launch
- •Announcements of a new timeline for the Glamsterdam upgrade
