Ethereum research nonprofit Ethlabs has recommended not changing the Glamsterdam upgrade specification or scheduling a Hoodi testnet upgrade until external audit results are published and a clear conclusion is reached. This is a recommendation, not an announced change to the upgrade plan.
The Ethereum Foundation has commissioned Chain Security and Dedaub to examine how EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 might affect deployed contracts. Results were expected by November 16. A public AMA at that day’s ACD testing meeting was set to include application developers, core developers, the Ethereum Foundation, Ethlabs and the auditors.
The November 19 ACD execution-layer meeting could then take a position on the findings, including whether to change the specification or not proceed with the fork under the existing plan. Neither outcome had been decided in the original report.
