“Writing your first EIP” session at some upcoming large conference. I’ve also given this to the EEA and I hope they will have some EIPs soon.

So, I have a confession to make… I have never gone through the process with my own EIP!

I really want this proposal to make it into Istanbul:

EIP-1344: Add chain id opcode

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/1344 proposes to add an opcode to retrieve the chain id of the chain that the block has been mined on. This would allow smart contract to validate signatures that use replay protection (as proposed in EIP-155). Currently the only way is to hardcode the chain id into the smart contract. This poses a problem in case of a hardfork. This opcode would allow multi signature contracts that use signatures to implement better replay protection and increase securit…

It’s fairly uncontroversial in my mind and also relatively simple with clear benefits (like Layer 2 message-signing), so it may make a really good walk-through EIP to show others how the process really works.

Would this be valuable to people?
