The Ethereum Foundation postponed Glamsterdam's planned Oct. 26 activation on the Hoodi test network after developers raised compatibility concerns. Its Oct. 22 notice said the delay would allow more checks on EIP-8037's interaction with contracts already live on Ethereum. The pause also halted a planned increase in Hoodi's gas limit to 200 million.
On Nov. 6, Ethereum Foundation developer Marius van der Wijden said the group was working with ChainSecurity and Dedaub to study potential failures. The foundation asked contract teams and auditors to check eight assumptions that the planned changes could break. It also requested reports from affected projects to help guide the next developer discussions.
Pseudonymous developer banteg said an analysis had identified about 200,000 potentially affected contracts, although the figure does not establish that all would fail. Neither rival proposal has received approval, and developers have not announced a replacement Hoodi date or a confirmed mainnet launch. The previously discussed Nov. 16–20 private testing window was tentative and preceded the new drafts.
