Glamsterdam review puts gas accounting before the fork calendar

Ethlabs published a status report on Glamsterdam on November 10, separating straightforward operation repricing from changes to gas accounting. Its recommendation is to wait for published findings and a clear position before deciding specification changes or scheduling Hoodi. All Core Devs retains the decision.

The report says hard-coded operation-cost assumptions and unexpected accounting behavior in deployed contracts require different kinds of scrutiny. Ethlabs describes these as issues concerning the proposed upgrade, rather than currently exploitable behavior. External audits commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation are expected to inform the next discussion.

For application teams, the useful next step is checking gas assumptions and reporting concrete failures, rather than planning a launch around a promised capacity increase. The proposed scaling benefits remain conditional on a safe design and subsequent network decisions.
