A daily record of what changed in Ethereum protocol work, research and the ecosystem.
This site is rebuilt every morning from that day's report. The pipeline pulls out the keywords, highlights, an image and every source link, turns them into a card and deploys it to Cloudflare Pages. There is one card per day; open it to see the items and links grouped by topic. Priority topics get in-depth coverage, and everything else is a short note on what it means for users and how to use it. Each issue covers what changed since the previous one, every item carries its source and date, and nothing is made up.

Glamsterdam is still on hold. The EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 gas repricing could break deployed contracts, the Hoodi fork has been postponed, and the next steps are ACDT on November 16 and ACDE on November 19. Vitalik argues that ETH should be a store of value first rather than a fee-burning token. The post-quantum migration keeps moving, and EIP-8483 has been proposed for Hegotá.
EIP-8141 received a PR raising MAX_VERIFY_GAS from 100k to 300k, based on Nethermind's DoS benchmark and measured gas for privacy pools and post-quantum signatures. Another PR clarifies that blob fees can lower the GASPRICE of a frame transaction. Marius and Ethlabs gave Glamsterdam updates: the goal is to have audit reports before ACDT on 11-16, and neither spec changes nor Hoodi have been decided. Versioned Opcodes became EIP-8488 and got a discussion thread. ETHBEAT launched its CROPS guide.
Another answer to Glamsterdam compatibility: the Versioned Opcodes draft has new contracts use V2 opcodes that carry the new gas schedule, while old contracts keep the old one, and V2 drops gas introspection opcodes such as GAS. The EF updated its blog post: it has received 4 reports of deployed contracts that could break, recommends that ACD wait until the audit results are public before deciding whether to change the specs or schedule Hoodi, and published a timeline from 11-12 to 11-19. Barnabé said Ethlabs supports work on post-quantum user accounts, and Ben Edgington explained PQDC.
Core developers argued on X all day about whether Glamsterdam's gas repricing will break deployed contracts. One side holds that you should never break things that work; the other says that would mean the gas schedule can never change. A targeted proposal, EIP-8487, appeared the same day: the old gas schedule governs execution and the new one governs billing. Vitalik explained at length why ETH should focus on being a store of value rather than a fee-burning token. The Ethlabs week 20 update reports that Quicknode now supports FCR.
Nethermind measured the frame transaction validation budget: once clients pause validation while processing a block, raising MAX_VERIFY_GAS to 300k is workable, which is the range private transfers and post-quantum accounts need. Trail of Bits published a four-step guide for signing systems after the Binance incident, stressing that 7702 delegations should be treated as admin privileges. A token-level Protected Accounts proposal appeared on Magicians. Francesco and Barnabé discussed what gas repricing really does.
The EF published a list of 8 contract invariants that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 will break, along with a self-check repository, and the Glamsterdam fork on Hoodi will not be scheduled until this is resolved. Nethermind ran a privacy pool that pays its own gas on frame transactions; a withdrawal costs about 679k gas, but proof verification exceeds the validation gas limit. The EF also explained transaction assertions, a Hegotá candidate, and the Partitioned Binary Tree state migration planned for I*.
The EF laid out Lean Ethereum fork by fork: H* is the last fork without lean features, I* brings leanVM and lean transactions, and J* adds lean attestations, DA sampling and PCS. On accounts, EIP-7851 (code-controlled EOA delegation) synced a clarification from EIP-8298 ahead of being archived, and EIP-8288 revised its aggregation policy. On privacy, Kassandra published the key derivation scheme for Tornado Cash and Privacy Pools, the Aztec wallet Nulo launched, and ETHBEAT released its CROPS guide.
