Ethlabs is asking Ethereum developers to leave Glamsterdam’s proposed rules and Hoodi timing unchanged while two audits assess gas changes that may affect contracts already deployed on the network.
The Ethereum Foundation asked ChainSecurity and Dedaub to examine EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. The proposals change gas costs and accounting, and their reports are expected before Monday, Nov. 16.
Glamsterdam aims to move Ethereum’s gas limit for each block from 60 million to 200 million. Ethlabs has cautioned that applications and tools relying on assumptions about operation costs could be affected. It has also flagged a possible accounting change after an internal call fails, which could leave a contract with more gas than expected and complicate checks of whether the call ran out of gas.
The Foundation announced the Hoodi activation postponement on Oct. 23. It has not announced a replacement date.
Developers have a core developers testing meeting scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, with a public question-and-answer session. An execution-layer meeting on Thursday, Nov. 19, is expected to take up the audit findings and could consider changes to the specifications.
