What happened

7, 2026 at 6:10 am GMT 3 min read Quick Take 01 Ethereum asks applications to test eight gas assumptions as developers consider whether Glamsterdam’s proposed rules need changes. 02 Proposed accounting can disrupt relayer reimbursements and expose reusable wallet authorizations when specific failure and initialization conditions align.

03 Project reports on settings, upgrades and migrations will inform compatibility discussions while Hoodi’s activation remains postponed. Make CryptoSlate preferred on Share Share Ethereum’s core developers are asking application teams to help decide whether proposed gas changes in the Glamsterdam upgrade need revision, because their own audits cannot cover every project’s contracts and off-chain services.

6 post on the Ethereum Foundation blog, Marius van der Wijden asked developers and auditors to check eight gas assumptions affected by the proposed upgrade. 26 activation and accompanying 200 million gas-limit increase were postponed.

6 appeal says the delay continues pending resolution, while the notices leave mainnet activation unset. That makes application repairability part of the evidence developers need when weighing changes to the upgrade.

Security auditors ChainSecurity and Dedaub are investigating alongside internal audits, but the review also needs projects to explain how they could repair affected systems. The consequences extend from relayers recovering too little of their transaction costs to wallet authorizations becoming reusable after a particular kind of failure.
