Ethereum blog: EIP-8037/8038 gas rework breaks invariants in some projects
The Ethereum Foundation Blog states that Chainsecurity found a few projects that would be vulnerable after Glamsterdam because they rely on certain invariants. The post says those invariants are broken by EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, which rework how much gas is charged for certain operations and how gas is charged for state.
