On November 10, 2026, TechFlow reported an article from Ethereum R&D organization Ethlabs. Ethlabs recommended that the Glamsterdam upgrade specification not be changed, and that a Hoodi testnet upgrade not be scheduled, until audit results are public and a clear position has been formed. It said the final decision belongs to the Ethereum All Core Developers (ACD) meeting.
Ethlabs said the Ethereum Foundation commissioned ChainSecurity and Dedaub to review the potential impact of EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 on smart contracts that are already deployed. Those reports were expected before November 16. The ACD testing meeting on November 16 was set to include a public question-and-answer session, and the execution-layer meeting on November 19 was set to discuss the results and possible next steps.
The notice treats EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 as proposals under audit, not as activated network changes, and it does not describe Glamsterdam as already deployed. Ethlabs’ stated position was to wait for the audits and a clear stance before altering the specification or setting a Hoodi schedule; according to the report, ACD had not yet made that decision.
