Glamsterdam Gas Repricing Risks Small Group of Layer 1 Contracts
Ethereum developers have flagged a small group of Layer 1 smart contracts at risk from gas changes in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade.
The planned gas changes, which include EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, aim to shift state creation and access costs. According to the Ethereum Foundation, most contracts will remain unaffected, but a small set may break or degrade without updates.
The affected contracts rely on hardcoded gas stipends, fixed call limits, or logic based on gasleft(). Developers can test their contracts on Platåberget before public testnet and mainnet deployment begins.
