Hoodi waits while Ethereum checks Glamsterdam gas assumptions

The Ethereum Foundation is asking developers to check eight assumptions before the Hoodi fork proceeds.

An ink print of a paused loom with loose threads and tension guides.

The Ethereum Foundation says Hoodi will not fork until compatibility issues involving EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 are resolved. ChainSecurity found projects relying on gas assumptions the changes would break. Developers are being asked to check eight published invariants.

For a contract team, the useful task is to inventory assumptions in both onchain code and supporting software, reproduce the relevant cases and document the result. A generic audit badge does not answer whether a particular gas calculation remains valid.

This is a testnet scheduling and compatibility decision. It does not establish that the changes have reached mainnet. Teams should use the reviewed specification for release planning rather than assume a fork date.
