A TechFlow report published on 10 November 2026 (17:55, UTC+8) relayed an article from the Ethereum research organization Ethlabs. Ethlabs recommended that the Glamsterdam upgrade specification not be modified, 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 rests with Ethereum’s All Core Developers (ACD) meetings, not with the recommendation itself.
Audits under way
Ethlabs said the Ethereum Foundation commissioned ChainSecurity and Dedaub to review the potential effects of EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 on smart contracts that are already deployed. The reports were expected before 16 November 2026. The TechFlow account does not treat either EIP as an activated upgrade, and it does not report a client release or a network change already deployed.
Meetings named, not decisions taken
Ethlabs said the ACD testing call on 16 November 2026 would include a public question-and-answer session, and that the execution-layer meeting on 19 November 2026 would discuss the results and possible next steps. Those dates were described as the planned discussion window. No outcome from either meeting is reported.
