Ethereum Delays Glamsterdam Test Over Smart Contract Risk
Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Developers canceled Monday’s Hoodi activation after researchers flagged a risk that proposed gas rules could pose to existing smart contracts.
Ethereum developers have postponed a Glamsterdam test activation on Hoodi following a security warning about its potential effects on existing smart contracts, CoinDesk reported.
Researchers demonstrated that the proposed gas rules could allow smart contracts to retain a permanent record of operations that failed. The finding raised concerns about how the changes would affect contracts already in use.
The warning prompted developers to cancel the activation scheduled for Monday. The report did not specify a replacement date for the test.
