AI summary of the linked article

Ethereum's All Core Developers (ACD) has delayed the Glamsterdam hardfork process and will not fork Hoodi until issues are resolved, after Chainsecurity found projects that would be vulnerable once Glamsterdam is live. The projects rely on certain invariants that EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 will break, as these proposals rework how gas is charged for certain operations and for state. Work on Hegota continues in parallel. The Ethereum Foundation is engaging Chainsecurity and Dedaub alongside internal audits, but says it cannot cover all projects, so it asks contract developers and auditors to check whether their projects rely on any of the eight listed invariants. Affected parties are asked to contact glamsterdam@ethereum.org.

Glamsterdam, the next update for Ethereum, is currently being tested on testnets. During these tests Chainsecurity has found a few projects that would be vulnerable after Glamsterdam since they rely on certain invariants. These invariants will be broken by EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 which rework how much gas is charged for certain operations and how gas is charged for state.
