Ethereum Foundation urges delay on Glamsterdam upgrade pending gas audits

Four reports of live contracts that could break have prompted the foundation to ask core developers to hold off until outside audits are public The Ethereum Foundation is pumping the brakes on Glamsterdam, the network’s next major upgrade. The foundation has asked Ethereum ’s core developers not to decide the upgrade’s next step until outside audits of its proposed gas changes are made public. The trigger was four reports of live contracts that could break if the changes ship as written. The concern centers on two Ethereum Improvement Proposals, EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. Together, they change how much gas certain operations cost and how the network charges for storing data, which Ethereum calls state. EIP-8037 makes creating new state much more expensive.
