Gas Pricing Split for New and Legacy Contracts as Ethereum Community Submits EIP-8488 Draft

Odaily reports: The Ethereum community has recently submitted the EIP-8488 draft, proposing the introduction of a parallel set of V2 opcodes whose gas costs follow the new pricing standards of EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. The draft stipulates that contracts deployed after network activation may only contain V2 opcodes, while existing contracts will continue to operate under the legacy gas schedule; V2 cross-contract calls require the target contract to also be a V2 version. Currently, the proposal is in an early draft stage.
