The testnet hard fork scheduled for today is hitting pause.

According to an Ethereum Foundation announcement, the Glamsterdam upgrade, originally planned to activate on Hoodi at around 17:42 UTC on October 26, has been postponed, with a new date yet to be set. The plan to raise Hoodi’s gas limit to 200 million has also been canceled. Core developers need to further assess how changes to state creation and gas metering, such as EIP-8037, interact with contracts on the live network. Security researchers have noted that the refund path after failed calls could change, potentially causing erroneous handling results to be committed in edge cases.

How to read this: This is a testnet schedule rollback, not an immediate change to mainnet rules. For node operators and validators: don’t configure clients based on the old activation time. For application teams: don’t treat the day of the Hoodi upgrade as a hard deadline for integration testing. The mainnet timeline has yet to be finalized; security takes priority over rushing to meet a narrative.

A testnet delay loosens the mainnet timeline too.

Ethereum developers have postponed the Glamsterdam fork on the Hoodi testnet: security researchers warned that the relevant proposals (including the EIP-8037/8038 direction) could weaken protections against “out-of-gas griefing,” affecting how some contracts behave on failed-transaction paths. Originally planned for around October 26, the fork now needs to wait until the interaction risks are better understood.

How to read this: it doesn’t mean “the upgrade is dead”; it means paying down security debt upfront. The mainnet window (previously pegged by some to early December) is now more uncertain. For protocol teams, the focus is on test coverage for failure paths—not just happy-path demos.

Vitalik's Latest Speech Explained in Detail EIP-8288: Ethereum Scalability Is Set to Get the “Ultimate Solution”—Future Transactions Will Be Faster and Cheaper!

The Core Problem: Ethereum has long struggled to achieve all three at once: quantum safety, privacy protection, and scalability. A typical transaction consumes about 21,000 gas, and validating an ECDSA signature costs around 4,000 gas. However, quantum-safe signatures are much more expensive—about 100,000 to 300,000 gas. ZK privacy proofs require at least 350,000 gas (and sometimes over one million). If you combine them (quantum-safe + privacy STARK proofs), a single transaction may burn roughly 8 million gas—pushing Ethereum TPS from 25 down to 0.25, basically making it unusable.

V God’s Proposed Approach: The core of EIP-8288 is to move costly cryptographic computations off-chain. Before transactions are posted on-chain, nodes aggregate multiple users’ signatures/proofs in the mempool into a single STARK proof using a design featuring a “mini-frame structure.” On-chain, only dependency information of about 65–96 bytes is stored; the massive cryptographic data itself is not placed on-chain. The transaction is split into two parts: “business logic” and “verification work.” Verification is handled off-chain in parallel (via specialized sharding).

Key Highlights: This may be the first real scenario where Ethereum truly introduces the RISC-V instruction set. This proposal is built on the upcoming EIP-8141 (native account abstraction). After compression, block data can be kept within the 100–300KB range. There are no major changes to developer experience—Ethereum developers won’t need to do much adaptation.

Conclusion: If the plan is implemented, the cost of quantum-safe transactions could drop dramatically. Privacy-focused applications won’t be deterred by high gas fees anymore, and L2’s ZK-Rollup confirmation speed should also improve significantly. The community has already opened multiple participation channels—such as network simulation models, testnets, algorithm competitions, and prototype code repositories—placing this effort in an early co-building stage.

The Ethereum Foundation Protocol DevOps team has officially released the early testnet for the Glamsterdam upgrade, called Platåberget. The network fork is scheduled to be completed on August 20. Unlike previous short-lived devnets, Platåberget is expected to run stably for several months, and will come with one-click network configuration and a test ETH faucet, making it easier for developers and the community to continuously participate in validation.

The testing roadmap is also largely clear: within one month, a non-final devnet will be launched to test abnormal consensus scenarios; then long-running testnets such as Sepolia and Hoodi will sequentially complete the Glamsterdam fork, with the ultimate goal of upgrading the Ethereum mainnet.

Key changes worth paying close attention to in this upgrade include:

Embedded proposer-builder separation (ePBS), which writes the proposer-builder relationship into the protocol layer; block-level access lists (Block-Level Access Lists), optimizing on-chain data access efficiency; re-pricing of gas fees, with a target lower bound of around 200 million gas; and increases to the maximum contract and initcode sizes from 24KiB and 48KiB to 64KiB and 128KiB, respectively.

It is especially important to note that: any tools that depend on hard-coded maximum gas limits—such as wallets, indexers, gas estimators, and more—will be affected and will need to be updated accordingly. Related development teams are advised to evaluate compatibility as early as possible.

Ethereum’s community has just introduced a new EIP deposit contract proposal aimed at securing against post-quantum computing. This marks another important step forward for Ethereum’s long-term security architecture.

The core of this proposal, numbered EIP-12235, includes:
✅ Introducing a new contract that supports variable-length public keys and credential metadata, along with clear scheme identifiers; the current BLS deposit retains scheme 0
✅ Moving away from the old deposit contract’s Merkle tree structure, and using EIP-7685’s log-derived execution requests to pass deposit information to the consensus layer
✅ Setting an irreversible timeline controlled by protocol system calls: deposits are initially disabled, then BLS deposits are enabled, and finally BLS deposits are permanently disabled
✅ During the migration phase, the client executing the process needs to merge deposit requests for both the new and old contracts

Post-quantum security has long been a key focus for the blockchain industry. The development of quantum computing poses a long-term potential threat to existing cryptographic algorithms. By laying the groundwork with an architectural upgrade in advance, Ethereum is preparing for future security needs and is well worth keeping an eye on.

📰 The Ethereum Foundation’s protocol team has already listed the priority for the Hegotá upgrade, with a very clear goal: by December 2029, complete quantum-safety preparation across the three layers of Ethereum’s Layer 1—execution, consensus, and data.

🔥 There are two key proposals marked as S-tier “must ship.” In the consensus layer, FOCIL—i.e., EIP-7805—plans to strengthen the network’s resistance to censorship by forcing the inclusion of public mempool transactions.

💡 In the execution layer, Frame Transactions—i.e., EIP-8141—also falls under the must-ship category. It will break transactions into several programmable “frames,” including verification, Gas payment, and execution. Going forward, native account abstraction, custom signatures, and sponsored Gas will have a more concrete technical foundation.

Honestly, quantum safety sounds far removed from everyday users, but this isn’t a temporary patch—it’s a long-term upgrade roadmap planned in advance by the protocol team. The team expects that starting with the Glamsterdam fork in Q4 2026, each subsequent fork will take about 7.2 months on average, aiming to complete this before the “Q-day” expected to arrive around 2030.

🤔 How many years will it take for Ethereum to do this? Do you think this kind of proactive upgrade is prudent, or will it make the protocol iteration too slow?

#以太坊 #Hegotá #量子安全 #EIP

The Ethereum community has recently submitted the EIP-12235 proposal, planning to introduce a brand-new deposit contract that supports post-quantum cryptography security—laying the groundwork for long-term security of Ethereum. This move is quite steady.

The core contents of the proposal include:
1️⃣ The new contract supports variable-length public keys and credential metadata, adding a clear scheme identifier, with scheme 0 reserved for the current BLS deposit mechanism.
2️⃣ It no longer relies on the Merkle tree structure of the old deposit contract; instead, it uses EIP-7685’s log-derived execution requests to pass deposit information to the consensus layer.
3️⃣ It introduces an irreversible transition mode controlled by the protocol system: in the initial state, the deposit functionality is disabled. Then, at a specified timestamp, BLS deposits are enabled; afterward, at a later timestamp, BLS deposits are permanently disabled—and cannot be re-enabled.
4️⃣ During the migration, the execution client needs to merge deposit requests from both the new and old contracts simultaneously.

Against the broader backdrop of advances in quantum computing technology, upgrading the cryptographic security infrastructure in advance is very necessary. After all, security is the lifeline of a blockchain.

EIP-8361 proposal officially released. The core idea is to “install a regulating valve” for Ethereum’s inflation:

· For each epoch, a portion is deducted from validator block rewards and burned
· When the network-wide staking rate reaches 50%, the burn rate is immediately ramped up to 100%
· The exact percentage of reward issuance cessation is determined by market dynamics, but it is strictly less than 50%

Simply put: the more people stake, the more aggressively rewards get burned. This is a design experiment that uses on-chain mechanisms to inversely curb ETH inflation. 50% is the key psychological threshold and also the warning line for “over-staking” as seen by the proposal’s author.

If implemented, it means Ethereum’s economic model will further shift toward a “deflation-first” stance. Long-term holders would benefit, but validators’ yield would be significantly compressed. Do you like this direction?

[News Roundup] Ethereum Researchers Propose EIP-8361: Use “Tapered Issuance Burn” to Cap the Staking Ratio

Recently, a group of Ethereum researchers (including Justin Drake, etc.) published a draft EIP-8361 (Tapered Issuance Burn).

In short, the mechanism is:
1. Validator rewards are determined by the network-wide staking ratio, and a portion is deducted and permanently destroyed
2. The more you stake, the higher the burn ratio
3. When active staking reaches 60.25 million ETH (about half of the supply), burning can reach 100%, and net issuance at the consensus layer approaches zero
4. To lessen the impact on existing stakers, an ~18-month transition period is designed (the transition period will also adjust the reward factor accordingly)

The proposal’s motivation leans toward the protocol layer: to avoid centralization and capture risks caused by infinitely increasing stake, and to preserve the neutral monetary role of unstaked ETH as much as possible. At present it is still a Draft; whether it can move into a subsequent network upgrade is not yet certain. The discussion is taking place on Eth Magicians / GitHub.

Information roundup only; not investment advice

The Ethereum community has just introduced a brand-new deposit contract EIP proposal for the post-quantum computing era—an early move to upgrade cryptographic security. This kind of forward-looking approach deserves full marks 👏

Breakdown of the proposal’s core points:
▫️ Introduces a new contract that supports variable-length public keys and credential metadata, adds a clearly defined scheme identifier (scheme 0 is reserved for the current BLS deposits)
▫️ No longer relies on the old deposit contract’s Merkle tree structure; instead, uses the log-derived execution requests from EIP-7685 to pass deposit information to the consensus layer—making the architecture simpler and more efficient
▫️ Establishes an irreversible transition mechanism: deposits are initially disabled; BLS deposits are enabled first according to a time window; after expiry, BLS deposits are permanently disabled—the switch is clear and controllable
▫️ During the migration phase, client-side execution must merge and handle deposit requests for both the new and old contracts to ensure a smooth transition

With the threat from quantum computing getting closer step by step, the Ethereum community has proactively kicked off a foundational security upgrade early, laying the groundwork for long-term ecosystem security. This is exactly the kind of top-tier long-termism that should exist.

Against the backdrop of rapidly advancing quantum computing, upgrading the security standards of cryptographic infrastructure in advance is what’s necessary to protect users’ assets in the long run. Do you think an upgrade like this from the $ETH ecosystem is necessary?

#以太坊 #EIP #post-quantum security

Ethereum wants to cut final settlement time from about 16 minutes to about 4 minutes. Ben Edgington, coordinator of Ethereum’s fast finality research, and Francesco D'Amato, Roberto Saltini, Yann Vonlanthen, and Mikhail Kalinin have submitted an EIP draft (number 12566, now in the formal process) aiming to make final confirmation about four times faster.

Why speed things up? Cross-chain remittance services have to front the funds while waiting for confirmation: at a steady $1 million advanced per hour, a 16-minute delay ties up about $267,000, while a 4-minute delay would bring that down to about $67,000.

The technical root cause is that validators’ votes serve two purposes: they select blocks and confirm older blocks, so confirmation speed is constrained by the validator rotation schedule. The draft separates the two votes, allowing confirmation to speed up independently and be tightened further over time. Splitting the votes also makes it easier to eventually switch to quantum-resistant signatures. The authors themselves say many aspects remain TBD. For now, the modest goal is simply to get a proposal number and enter Ethereum’s formal upgrade pipeline—the design is unfinished, and there’s no activation date, so don’t treat it as a done deal.

The comparison is even more interesting: Circle (CRCL) already charges based on speed for fast cross-chain USDC transfers—its Ethereum fast route costs 0.01% ($1 per $10,000), and there’s also a cap on the total amount that can be transferred quickly. On the competing side, Solana Alpenglow is targeting finality of about 150 milliseconds (it just launched yesterday). Even at 4 minutes, Ethereum would still be slow, but its advantages are mainnet security and scale.

💥 $ETH 'S STAKING OFF-SWITCH: NEW EIP TORCHES REWARDS PAST 50% SUPPLY!

This proposal quietly rewrites the staking playbook. The moment staked ETH crosses 50% of supply, validator rewards start getting torched — net yield trends toward zero, creating a natural brake on over-staking. 📊 That's not just a supply tweak, that's a structural cap on centralization.

Stack this on EIP-1559's base fee burn and ETH's supply curve gets a deflationary bite it hasn't had before. 🔍 Less dilution for holders, higher friction for liquid staking giants piling up control. This kind of shift changes how institutions model ETH long-term.

💬 If staking yields shrink past 50%, do you ride the deflation thesis or rotate your yield elsewhere?
