Ethereum delays Glamsterdam test on Hoodi. No new date yet.

Oct 26, 17:42 UTC: the Hoodi testnet fork that was planned is now off.
→ Core devs decided on the Oct 22 ACDE call. The planned 200M gas limit raise on Hoodi is paused too.
Oct 13: ChainSecurity warned that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 could weaken safeguards in existing smart contracts.
→ Under the new gas rules, some contracts could end up with more or less gas than expected, so failed actions might get recorded for good.
13 real-world examples found so far, per ChainSecurity. It is contacting the affected projects privately.
22,100 → 110,020 gas: worst-case cost to create a new storage slot under the new rules.
Glamsterdam already went live on the Sepolia testnet on Oct 6.

What to watch: a new Hoodi date. Devs had eyed early December for mainnet, but that date is now unconfirmed. No action needed for ETH holders.
