🛠️ Ethereum developers propose two ways to protect legacy contracts during Glamsterdam
On November 9, CoinDesk described two draft proposals from Ethereum developers: changes to the cost of some operations in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade could disrupt older smart contracts with fixed gas limits. This is a potential risk, not a failure that has already occurred.
Leo Glisic proposes keeping the old fees for existing contracts and applying the new ones to future contracts. Giulio Rebuffo proposes accounting separately for the cost of executing operations and the fees charged for them, while preserving compatibility. Both approaches are still under discussion: neither has been adopted, and no implementation date has been approved.
