Ethlabs urges a pause on Glamsterdam decisions pending contract-impact audits

Application developers assessing the proposed Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade were urged by Ethlabs to run the Ethereum Foundation’s self-check tool and report potential issues to [email protected].

In a report published November 10, 2026, Ethlabs said it had spent more than two weeks monitoring and analyzing how EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 might affect deployed smart contracts. External audit results from Chain Security and Dedaub, commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation, were expected on November 16, 2026.

Ethlabs recommended holding off on specification changes and scheduling a Hoodi testnet fork until the audit findings were published and a clear position had been reached. This was a recommendation, not an announced change to the upgrade schedule.
