Two rival Ethereum proposals aim to stop Glamsterdam breaking old contracts

Glamsterdam proposals EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 raise gas costs for creating and touching stored data; the contract creation base charge rises from 32,000 to 183,600 gas. A second test on Oct. 26 was postponed after security researchers raised concerns; both drafts are proposals with no target date.
