According to CoinMeta, Wu said that the research and development organization ethlabs published an article suggesting that it would be advisable not to decide whether to modify the upgrade specifications for glamsterdam or to reschedule the testnet upgrade for hoodi until the results of the external audit are announced and fully discussed. The dispute mainly involves adjustments to the pricing and billing mechanisms for gas by eip-8037 and eip-8038, which may affect already deployed smart contracts that rely on the current gas behavior. The Ethereum Foundation has entrusted chainsecurity and dedaub to conduct an external audit, with results expected to be announced in mid-November. Developers plan to hold a public Q&A session on November 16th and discuss whether to modify the upgrade specifications on November 19th. ethlabs emphasized that the issues currently identified cannot be directly addressed on the existing Ethereum network, and the risks are mainly related to the behavior of contracts after the proposed upgrade is implemented.
