Ethereum has delayed the rollout of its Glamsterdam Hoodi testnet after security risks related to recent gas changes were identified. The postponement aims to address these vulnerabilities before proceeding with the launch.
According to CoinTelegraph, ChainSecurity uncovered 13 real-world smart contracts potentially impacted by the gas modifications introduced by Glamsterdam. The security firm is actively working with the affected projects to ensure responsible disclosure and mitigation of risks.
This development highlights the ongoing challenges in securing smart contract environments amid protocol updates, a critical concern for Japanese investors closely monitoring Ethereum's network stability and its influence on both domestic and global crypto markets.
