Ethereum Draft Lets New Contracts Use Separate Gas Schedule
Ethereum's EIP-8488 draft lets new smart contracts use a revised gas schedule without disrupting existing ones.
In brief
Ethereum's EIP-8488 draft lets new smart contracts use a revised gas schedule without disrupting existing ones. Ethereum's EIP-8488 draft allows newly deployed smart contracts to use a separate gas schedule while preserving legacy schedules for existing contracts. Originally reported by TokenPost.
EIP-8488 Draft Proposal
A draft Ethereum proposal would let newly deployed smart contracts use a revised gas schedule while preserving the legacy schedule for existing contracts.
V2 Opcode Requirements
After activation, newly deployed contracts would use a V2 opcode set priced under EIP-8037 and EIP-8038, excluding GAS and GASLIMIT opcodes.
DELEGATECALL_V2 Implementation
The proposal introduces DELEGATECALL_V2, which would fail immediately if the target contract’s code_version is below 2.
What it means
Ethereum's EIP-8488 draft allows newly deployed smart contracts to use a separate gas schedule while preserving legacy schedules for existing contracts.
