Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Stalls on Gas-Change Risks to Live Contracts, Pending Audits

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is asking Ethereum’s core developers not to decide the next step for Glamsterdam , the network’s next upgrade, until outside audits of its gas changes are public, after it received four reports of live contracts that could break. In a Nov. 9 update , Marius van der Wijden, who wrote the post on the EF’s blog, said that the reports identify deployed contracts “that could break under the proposed changes in EIP-8037 and EIP-8038.” Those two Ethereum Improvement Proposals alter what certain operations cost in gas and how the network charges for storing data, known as state. The foundation said it is working through the reports and reaching out to teams that could be hit, without naming them.
