🚨 Ethereum's next upgrade could break some smart contracts — without hackers touching a single line of code

And developers have already found warning signs
On November 6, the Ethereum Foundation issued a public call for developers to review their contracts before Glamsterdam
Here's the problem 👇

$ETH

Imagine a machine designed to complete a job using a fixed amount of fuel
Now imagine the cost of running certain parts suddenly changes
The machine hasn't changed — but it may no longer finish the job
That's what could happen to some Ethereum contracts
EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 change how gas is charged for creating and accessing blockchain state
ChainSecurity found projects relying on assumptions these changes could break


⚠️ Ethereum $ETH had already postponed Glamsterdam's Hoodi testnet activation on October 22
No new Hoodi date or mainnet activation date has been confirmed
Most contracts aren't expected to be affected, but developers need to check their assumptions

📌 Watch the security reviews, contract fixes and revised testnet schedule
A blockchain upgrade isn't successful just because it makes the network more scalable
It's successful when existing applications can safely move forward with it
