Briefings

Two Ethereum proposals were released on November 9, 2026, to prevent the gas fee changes planned for the next cycle from invalidating existing smart contracts. These proposals introduce different mechanisms for how contracts interpret gas costs versus how users are charged, aiming to maintain contract stability during a major protocol upgrade.

Key points

• Two distinct proposals were submitted on November 9, 2026, to prevent gas fee changes from breaking existing smart contracts.
• The proposals use different approaches to define what contracts see versus what users pay to ensure contract integrity.

Context

Ethereum is undergoing significant gas fee adjustments for the upcoming cycle, which could impact contract behavior. New proposals aim to stabilize this transition by clarifying the relationship between contract logic and user costs.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to the two proposals' core objective without details on implementation, specific dates of contract impact, or named actors involved in the implementation.
