Glamsterdam is off Hoodi’s October calendar as Ethereum checks contract risks

The October 26 Hoodi test has been pulled, including its planned 200 million gas limit. Developers are examining a repricing proposal against contracts already on mainnet. Ethereum has called off a test that was due to run next Monday. The Ethereum Foundation’s October 22 notice says Glamsterdam will not activate on Hoodi at 17:42:48 UTC on October 26, and no new epoch has been set. The accompanying gas-limit increase to 200 million has been taken off the testnet’s schedule as well. This is a postponement of future configuration, not a reversal of blocks already recorded by Hoodi. Developers made the decision to investigate how EIP-8037, a change to the price of creating new Ethereum state, interacts with contracts on mainnet. The Foundation has not said the upgrade has broken mainnet.
