Could we achieve the same goals without the total calldata limit by reducing the cost of calldata and simultaneously increasing the cost of calldata access in EVM, beyond a certain size?
- Remove the calldata limit.
- Make the cost of calldata read quadratic (with a minimum that keeps the pre-fork cost intact), based on the highest offset accessed. The quadratic function only starts increasing the cost above the minimum, if the highest offset is 2x the current average (excluding rollup transactions).
Pro: it removes the hardcoded limit.
Con: Adds some complexity to the EVM implementation - calculating the calldata read cost based on the highest offset accessed, rather than using a fixed cost.
Would this achieve the same goals?
