A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

EIP proposal, relevant to gas limit raising discussions:

Increase calldata cost, perhaps back to the original 68 per nonzero byte, now that we have EIP-4844 blobs for data-heavy use cases.

It would address the worst-case data issues and add breathing room to raise not just gas limit but also blob count target.

why not just leave calldata alone and add blobs first (which is an effective increase) to see how that shakes out? seems like we’re unnecessarily complicating things but twisting multiple knobs at once

Blobs are already slated for this release, any new EIPs since like 6mo ago are for a future release.
