[Ethlabs Recommends Postponing Hoodi Testnet Fork Date; Two External Audits Expected Before November 16] According to Foresight News, Ethlabs stated that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 in the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade involve adjustments to gas costs and billing mechanisms, potentially affecting some deployed smart contracts. Ethlabs recommends postponing any modifications to the upgrade specifications or the determination of the Hoodi testnet fork date until the external audit results are released and the relevant impacts are clear. The final decision will be made by the Ethereum Core Developers Meeting (ACD). The two external audits commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation and conducted by ChainSecurity and Dedaub are expected to be released before November 16. A public Q&A session will be held on the same day. The ACD Executive Layer meeting on November 19 is expected to discuss the audit results and may decide whether to modify the upgrade specifications. Glamsterdam aims to increase the Ethereum block gas cap from 60 million to 200 million. Ethlabs points out that gas cost adjustments may affect contracts and tools with hard-coded operation costs, and changes to the billing mechanism may also cause some deployed contracts to behave unexpectedly. For example, after an internal call rollback, the remaining gas returned by gasleft() may actually increase, affecting the contract's ability to determine whether the call failed due to gas exhaustion.
