- Ethereum Delays Glamorama Fork Over Gas Management Concerns — this brief
Ethereum core developers have decided to delay the Glamorous fork on the Hoodi testnet after a report from ChainSecurity highlighted potential vulnerabilities in the network's gas management system.
The core issue revolves around the gasleft() function, which could show an increase in available gas during transaction execution due to gas being returned from failed sub-calls. This anomaly could allow unreachable code paths to execute, potentially causing transactions to appear successful when they are not.
According to reports, the developers will conduct a thorough review of smart contracts this week to address the issue. The fix may require significant changes to how gas is managed and reported during transaction execution.
This development comes at a time when Ethereum's market cap stands at $283.43 billion, with the coin trading at $2320.43, showing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.09% and a 7-day drop of 3.49%.
The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.75 trillion and a Fear & Greed index of 48, indicating a neutral sentiment.
