| ## Motivation | ||
|
|
||
| Gas costs compromise of two components: network (social) cost and computation cost. | ||
| Network cost reflects the blockchain’s effort to maintain state, | ||
| including adding transactions, storage, logs, calldata, and receipts, | ||
| while computation cost represents the non-durable processing effort of smart contracts. | ||
|
|
||
| While several EIPs (e.g., [EIP-160](eip-160.md), [EIP-1884](eip-1884.md)) | ||
| have refined network-related gas costs, | ||
| computational costs have remained largely static since Ethereum’s inception. | ||
| With multiple EVM implementations now stable and optimized, | ||
| alongside advanced tools, | ||
| we can assess how well the current gas schedule | ||
| aligns with hardware workload profiles. | ||
|
|
||
| Measurements and estimations depend on various factors, | ||
| including hardware, OS, virtualization, | ||
| compiler, memory management, EVM, and more. | ||
| The execution of a single opcode impacts or depends on caching, | ||
| block preparation, block finalization, garbage collectors, | ||
| code analysis, parsing etc. | ||
| Consequently, the individual computational cost is | ||
| a sum of multiple factors spread over the software stack. | ||
| Despite this complexity, | ||
| examinations have shown that the computational cost outline is consistent | ||
| across EVM implementations, technology stacks, and contexts. | ||
|
|
||
| For instance, experimental data might reveal that the computational effort required | ||
| to execute one opcode is consistently twice | ||
| that of another opcode across most EVM implementations. | ||
| In such cases, the gas cost ratio between these opcodes should be set at 2:1 | ||
| to reflect their relative computational complexity. | ||
| This approach relies on empirical measurements | ||
| rather than theoretical assumptions. | ||
| The gas cost schedule should, therefore, | ||
| accurately reflect computational complexity. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The motivation might benefit from a clearer statement of the specific problem being solved (e.g., 'We need to rebalance the gas cost schedule because...')
