The Glamsterdam upgrade implements new gas pricing models to more accurately reflect the resource costs of state creation and access. While most contracts will remain functional, developers must audit code for hardcoded gas values to prevent potential execution failures.

The Compose whitepaper proposes a new development paradigm called Smart Contract Oriented Programming (SCOP) to solve the inefficiencies of redundant on-chain deployments. By utilizing stateless facets and diamond architectures, it aims to transform smart contracts from isolated programs into modular, reusable systems.

Argot Collective's 2026 update highlights major compiler optimizations via the new SSA-CFG backend designed to mitigate stack depth issues. The report also covers progress in Core Solidity and the necessity of updated security protocols following an influx of automated vulnerability reports.
