Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade Reveals Smart Contract Compatibility Risks; Hoodi Testnet Hard Fork Delayed

2026-11-06 18:24

According to TechFlow, on November 6, Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden said in a post that security audit firm ChainSecurity found that gas billing invariants relied upon by some projects may be invalidated by EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 proposals in the Glamsterdam upgrade, leading to smart contract compatibility issues.

Ethereum core developers have decided to postpone the Hoodi testnet hard fork until the related issues are resolved. The development team is currently working with multiple audit firms to conduct security checks and is calling on smart contract developers to investigate affected situations to assess whether the upgrade specifications need to be adjusted.
