EIP-7825: Tx Gas Limit Cap & EIP-7934: RLP Execution Block Size Limit with Giulio R | PEEPanEIP#151 09.07.2025 44:25

EIP‑7825 proposes a protocol‑enforced cap of 30 million gas per transaction, regardless of the overall block gas limit, to prevent individual transactions from consuming excessive block resources. This cap aims to improve network stability and guard against denial‑of‑service risks, especially as Ethereum evolves toward higher block gas limits and more complex transaction patterns. It also helps en...

EIP-7793: ASSERTTXINDEX opcode & EIP-7843: SLOTNUM opcode with Marc Harvey-Hill | PEEPanEIP#150 08.07.2025 30:02

EIP-7793 introduces the ASSERTTXINDEX opcode ( 0xfb ), which reverts a transaction unless it is executed at a specific index within a block. This is designed to support encrypted mempools by preventing reordering of decrypted transactions, effectively mitigating frontrunning risks. The opcode ensures static validation by requiring the expected index to be read from calldata at the start of executi...
