Yesterday’s upgrade date was cancelled. Tell the calendar.

The Ethereum Foundation’s 22 October notice postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade on Hoodi previously set for 26 October 2026. It cites further investigation of EIP-8037’s interactions with mainnet smart contracts and gives no replacement date. This concerns a test network; the notice does not set a mainnet date or require action from ETH holders.
