Ethereum developers patched a potential flaw in the planned Glamsterdam upgrade that could have misdirected validator deposits to a builder when they shared a public key. No losses were reported, and client teams still need to incorporate the revised deposit rules.

  • The flaw involved pending deposits under a shared public key potentially being credited to a builder rather than a new validator, leaving staking services unable to recover funds.
  • The proposed fix was closed on October 19, reopened after further review and merged on Monday; the revised rules sort deposits by withdrawal credentials.
  • No losses were reported, and client teams must implement the changes; Glamsterdam’s October 26 Hoodi test-network launch was postponed.
