Ethereum Foundation Announces Delay of Hoodi Fork to Review Compatibility Issues
The Ethereum Foundation has decided to tentatively postpone the Hoodi hard fork to resolve potential compatibility issues discovered during the implementation of EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. Following an All Core Developers (ACD) call, the foundation decided to halt the fork until these issues are clearly resolved. They have released a list of eight technical conditions that may change during the upgrade process and are requesting that smart contract developers and auditors check their projects for potential impact. While this announcement confirms the schedule delay and the need for review, specific remedies and the revised target date for the fork have not yet been determined, so it is necessary to watch the code review process across the ecosystem closely.
Request for Invariant Review for Developers and Auditors
In this announcement, the Ethereum Foundation has released a separate repository outlining eight invariants that may be affected during the Glamsterdam upgrade. The intention is for developers and security auditors within the ecosystem to personally verify whether existing smart contracts or dApps rely on the conditions being changed. Since the Hoodi hard fork has been paused to preemptively filter out compatibility issues, the specific timeline for the next fork and the direction of code revisions will likely become clear only after the community's review results are collected.
