A companion EIP to #eip-2929.
Adds a transaction type which contains an access list, a list of addresses and storage keys that the transaction plans to access. Accesses outside the list are possible, but become more expensive. Intended as a mitigation to contract breakage risks introduced by EIP 2929 and simultaneously a stepping stone toward broader use of access lists in other contexts.
Really interesting concept. Seems like a stepping stone towards stateless clients.
The EIP mentions that the discount for transactions using access lists will increase over time as more tools are developed and access-list generation matures. What kind of tools will need to be developed? Is it just for access-list generation, or also for validation?
Just for access list generation. The code for determining whether or not accesses are part of the access list and doing things based on that is already in 2929.
