HOW HEGOTÁ SHOULD APPROACH GAS REPRICING

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Ethereum researchers have proposed a prioritization framework for gas repricing EIPs that targets the Hegotá fork, anchored by a unified data-floor pricing formula (EIPs 8131 and 8279) that produces a ~3.56% aggregate gas increase while pushing EIP-7702 transaction overhead from 0.04% to 20.63%. EIP-3298 eliminates storage-clear refunds to close GasToken arbitrage, and EIP-7923 replaces quadratic memory expansion with linear per-page charges plus a hard 64 MiB transaction cap, with both changes judged low-disruption relative to their scope. zkEVM-oriented EVMification changes (EIPs 7666, 8200) and BLOCKHASH repricing (EIP-7709) are recommended only if EIP-8025 ships concurrently. Whether Hegotá pursues the 450M gas limit increase determines the fork's scope: that scale target makes data repricing essential, while a narrower upgrade would defer contested proposals and concentrate effort on the highest impact-to-effort changes.
