Ethereum’s core developers have decided to delay Glamsterdam, the network’s next upgrade, after discovering that some projects would be left vulnerable.

🔹 Auditor ChainSecurity found the issue during testing. It is caused by EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, which change how the gas cost of certain operations and the state is calculated.

🔹 Until this is resolved, the fork will not be activated on the Hoodi testnet. Work on Hegota continues in parallel.

🔹 The Ethereum Foundation works with auditors ChainSecurity and Dedaub and conducts internal audits, but acknowledges that it cannot review every Ethereum project.

🔹 That’s why it asks developers and auditors to check whether their code depends on any of the eight invariants that Glamsterdam breaks. It has published a repository with explanations, examples, and suggestions for reviewing it.

🔹 Affected projects should write to glamsterdam@ethereum.org.
