The upgrade has been delayed—and that’s a good thing.
On November 6, the Ethereum Foundation announced:
The Glamsterdam launch on the Hoodi testnet has been delayed.
What’s holding it up?
Two gas accounting changes: EIP-8037 and EIP-8038.
They could break assumptions made by 8 legacy contracts.
Auditor ChainSecurity flagged 13 real-world contracts that could genuinely be affected.
It was originally scheduled to go live on Hoodi on October 26, but there’s no new date yet.
The Sepolia testnet upgrade went live on October 6 and is unaffected.
The mainnet upgrade wasn’t scheduled in the first place.
If you’re an ordinary ETH holder, you don’t need to do anything.
A delayed upgrade doesn’t mean something went wrong—it means an issue was caught before launch.
One more thing:
Whenever an upgrade window approaches, fake “migration claim sites” start popping up.
The official team hasn’t asked anyone to migrate or claim tokens.
If you see a link like that, close it.
Which side are you on: should the upgrade go live on schedule, or only after everything has been checked?
