Meeting Summary:

The team reviewed EIP-2780 implementation challenges and discussed potential conflicts with legacy tests, agreeing to review and provide feedback on the associated PR. They explored various options for gas metering and reservoir mechanisms for state creation operations, with the team deciding to implement option one for testing while planning to revisit the approach before the final EIP release. The conversation ended with discussions on gas pricing changes, including a proposal to modify the call data floor cost and the introduction of a new website for gas pricing information, with the team agreeing to continue community outreach efforts.

The team discussed EIP-2780, focusing on its implementation and associated test cases. Guru reported that a draft implementation was ready but noted potential conflicts with legacy tests, particularly those involving EIP-7702 and EIP-7928. He had raised a PR to clarify these interactions, and the team agreed to review and provide feedback. Ben suggested adding log prices from EIP-777 or 778, as current gas prices for ETH transfers are high. Toni raised concerns about the impact on BALS and account access costs, which Guru explained would be reduced. The next steps include clarifying the PR, merging it, and fixing the breaking tests to prepare for a release.

The team discussed gas metering and reservoir mechanisms for state creation operations. Maria presented four options for handling gas forwarding and reservoir usage in calls, with options 1 and 2 allowing full reservoir access and options 3 and 4 limiting reservoir usage based on gas left. The group debated the merits of each approach, with Daniel suggesting limiting reservoir usage to CREATE operations only. Ben raised concerns about gas estimation and potential refund issues. The team agreed to further consider the options and potentially implement a simplified approach for the devnet, with plans to revisit and potentially update the chosen method before the final EIP release.

The team discussed and agreed to implement option one for testing, with Maria planning to comment on Spencer’s PR. Dragan raised an edge case regarding reservoir gas management in child calls, which Maria and Dragan discussed in detail. Spencer provided an update on his work implementing option two and addressing gas limit issues in EELS tests. Toni presented a proposal to change the call data floor cost from 1560 to 6464 gas per byte, explaining the rationale and impact. Butta introduced a new website for gas pricing information and a survey for affected parties. The team agreed to continue community outreach efforts to gather feedback on gas pricing changes.

Next Steps:

  • Ben: Add a PR to include log prices from EIP 7708 to EIP 2780
  • Toni: Review Guru’s PR on EIP 2780 and provide feedback on interactions with 7702 and 7928
  • Guru: Fix the 7702 and 7928 tests that are currently being broken by EIP 2780 changes once PR is clarified and merged
  • Toni: Analyze the impact of reduced account access costs on worst case BAL size for EIP 2780
  • Maria: Approve Guru’s PR after receiving feedback from reviewers
  • Spencer: Comment on the PR regarding option 1 implementation for state creation gas cost subcalls
  • Dragan: Discuss async on Spencer’s PR about the edge case of reservoir refilling when subcall reverts
  • Spencer: Continue fixing tests for EIP 8037 (Frontier to Shanghai completed, need to work on Prague, Cancun, Osaka, Amsterdam, and legacy tests)
  • Spencer: Ask for extra help from the team during internal Steam call for test fixes
  • Toni: Connect Butta with Polygon and Darknet (entities affected by EIP 7976)
  • Butta: Reach out to affected entities (Polygon, Darknet) to fill out the gas repricing survey
  • Butta: Post gas repricing survey on Reddit (e-finance)
  • Butta: Get in touch with Ava regarding the gas repricing survey
  • Toni: Connect with Maria async to discuss worst-case block size changes with EIP 2780
  • All participants: Share and retweet the gas repricing survey (gasrepricing.com)
