A champion is needed for

Hi there!

AZTEC is quite interested in getting this EIP into Istanbul and we’re happy to try and push this forward. I’ve submitted a pull request to update the EIP and also to add it as a proposed EIP in eip-1679

Cheers,
Zac.

@Shadowfiend @zac-williamson it seems @vbuterin proposed a similar reduction here. Can you put that as a reference into the EIP so that we can close the issue?

Done.

@zac-williamson I opened a PR for this on go-ethereum that I can move forward (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/19904)—shall I take a crack at Parity as well or do you already have something cooking?

I have reviewed this EIP. Everything looks great, no reservations. Good work. I recommend for passage to Final.
