Ethereum Foundation Reminds Contract Developers to Self-Check Impact of Glamsterdam Gas Adjustments

The Ethereum Foundation has published a blog post reminding contract developers and auditors to self-check whether their projects rely on eight gas billing assumptions, which will no longer hold due to the adjustments in gas charging methods from EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 in Glamsterdam. The Ethereum Foundation has established a code repository that provides explanations, examples, and keywords for self-checking related to each assumption. Affected projects can contact the team via email. The team is collaborating with multiple auditing firms and conducting internal audits, but cannot cover all projects on Ethereum and their on-chain and off-chain code. On October 23, the Ethereum Foundation announced the postponement of the Glamsterdam upgrade originally scheduled for activation on the Hoodi testnet, with a new activation date yet to be determined. The postponement was prompted by a report from ChainSecurity that revealed issues when EIP-8037 interacts with certain contracts, and the impact has now been largely clarified.
