- Ethereum Foundation materials list November 16 for findings from Dedaub, ChainSecurity and the Foundation.
Ethereum price was quoted at USD 1,903.70 on November 14 at 07:07 Berlin time. The next significant protocol milestone is a developer review of Glamsterdam, Ethereum's planned network upgrade, after testing raised compatibility questions for existing smart contracts.
Review follows contract findings
The Ethereum Foundation said in a November 6 post that ChainSecurity had identified projects that could become vulnerable after Glamsterdam because they rely on invariants that would be changed by EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. The proposals alter how gas is charged for certain operations and for blockchain state. The All Core Developers group therefore decided not to proceed with the Hoodi testnet fork until the issues are resolved.
An update to the same Foundation post on November 9 said four reports had identified deployed contracts that could break under the proposed changes. The Foundation said it was reviewing the reports and contacting potentially affected protocols. It also said that specification changes remained possible if the impact proved too broad.
The Foundation's published schedule lists November 13 for the delivery and publication of reports from Dedaub and ChainSecurity. It then lists November 16 for those two auditing firms and the Foundation to present their findings in an open question-and-answer session. A further All Core Developers discussion is scheduled for November 19, with no decision committed in advance.
What the delay means for ETH
The issue concerns the upgrade's testing path rather than a shutdown of the Ethereum network. The Foundation said work on the subsequent Hegota upgrade would continue in parallel. For investors, the immediate implication is uncertainty over the timing and final specifications of Glamsterdam, while the technical review proceeds.
The Ethereum price should therefore be read alongside the development timetable rather than as a standalone measure of the upgrade's prospects. The quote above is a point-in-time USD reference; the Foundation's technical update provides the relevant context for the pending Hoodi testnet decision.
Background and scheduled milestones are described in the Ethereum Foundation's Glamsterdam update. More coverage is available on the Ethereum topic page.
