Ethereum Foundation postpones the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet; specific date to be determined
PANews October 23 reported that the Ethereum Foundation announced that the October 27（Epoch 132,352) "Glamsterdam" upgrade scheduled for the Hoodi testnet has been postponed to further study the impact of interactions between EIP-8037 and mainnet smart contracts. A new activation date has not yet been determined. The postponement cancels the previously planned "Amsterdam" execution-layer activation and "Gloas" consensus-layer activation. Meanwhile, the plan, also scheduled for the same Epoch, to raise Hoodi's Gas limit to 200000000 has also been canceled. This action only withdraws configurations for future upgrades and will not roll back Hoodi's on-chain history.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
A set of upgrades originally planned for the Hoodi testnet will not be executed for the time being, and the Gas-limit adjustment scheduled alongside the upgrades has also been canceled. Existing on-chain history will not be rescinded as a result, and when activation will resume remains to be announced.
Why it matters to readers
This means that the relevant testnet upgrades and configuration adjustments cannot proceed as originally planned for the time being,EIP-8037 and the impact of interactions with mainnet smart contracts still requires further study.
Beginners should focus on the new activation date and whether the canceled upgrades and Gas-limit adjustment will be rescheduled; this news describes a change to the Hoodi testnet plan.
Risks and unknowns
A new activation date has not yet been determined.
EIP-8037 The conclusions of the study into the impact of interactions with mainnet smart contracts are unknown.
It is unknown whether the Amsterdam and Gloas activations and the Gas-limit increase plan will be rescheduled.
The evidence is PANews' paraphrase of the Ethereum Foundation announcement; the original announcement text was not provided.
