Gas Cost Changes for IO-heavy Operations |
deprecated |
Wei Tang <hi@that.world> |
This refers to the IO-gas cost change hard fork. The EIP can be found at EIP-150.
Fees below has changed, compared with 4/FEE.
- Increase the gas cost of EXTCODESIZE to 700
- Increase the base gas cost of EXTCODECOPY to 700
- Increase the gas cost of BALANCE to 400
- Increase the gas cost of SLOAD to 200
- Increase the gas cost of CALL, DELEGATECALL, CALLCODE to 700
- Increase the gas cost of SUICIDE to 5000
- Increase the recommended gas limit target to 5.5 million
- If a call asks for more gas than the maximum allowed amount, do not return an OOG error; instead, call with the maximum allowed amount of gas
- If SUICIDE hits a newly created account, it triggers an additional gas cost of 25000 (similar to CALLs)
(The fee schedule table will be computed later.)
As the fee constants have been determinted, this RFC should also specify the gas cost algorithms to be executed. The currently should refer to the EIP-150 revision of the yellow paper.
