https://forkcast.org Updates on Ethereum network upgrades: EIP inclusion-stage changes and network activations. https://forkcast.org/eips/7609 eip-7609-declined-2026-08-27 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Improve the efficiency of TLOAD/TSTORE by decreasing the base cost and introducing a superlinear pricing model. https://forkcast.org/eips/8058 eip-8058-declined-2026-08-27 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT If you deploy a contract that's exactly the same as one that already exists and you include that existing contract's address in your transaction's access list, you don't pay the per-byte code deposit again—the new contract just points to the already-stored code. https://forkcast.org/eips/8141 eip-8141-scheduled-2026-08-27 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A new transaction type that lets smart accounts verify transactions themselves instead of relying on traditional signatures. This enables post-quantum security, flexible wallet features like social recovery, and native gas sponsorship. https://forkcast.org/eips/7610 eip-7610-declined-2026-08-20 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Existing conditions to prevent deploying contract at address with existing data are insufficient, this ensures it cannot happen even in edge case scenarios. There are at least 28 contracts that were deployed with this issue. https://forkcast.org/eips/8379 eip-8379-proposed-2026-08-20 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT CL-driven EL synchronization by exposing the execution client head and distinguishing missing state from missing history in the engine API https://forkcast.org/eips/8383 eip-8383-proposed-2026-08-20 Thu, 20 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Reduce required beacon block retention window to 8192 epochs https://forkcast.org/eips/3298 eip-3298-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Clearing a storage slot or destroying a contract earns gas back, a discount meant to encourage tidying up after yourself. It never worked, and it is instead used to stockpile cheap gas for later. This proposal removes the discount entirely. https://forkcast.org/eips/5920 eip-5920-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT The PAY opcode simply transfers ETH without executing code at recipient, making it more efficient, secure and compatible with account abstraction. https://forkcast.org/eips/7923 eip-7923-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Linearizes EVM memory with 4KB pages: 100-gas allocation, 6-gas thrash, 64MB cap. Contracts that hit quadratic expansion limits finish with the same logic but steadier gas usage, allowing for more efficient memory management and predicatble gas costs. https://forkcast.org/eips/8077 eip-8077-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT When a node hears that a peer has a new transaction, it learns only the transaction's hash, type, and size, which is not enough to judge whether downloading it is worthwhile. This proposal adds the sender's address and its position in that sender's sequence, so nodes can fetch in an order that actually produces a usable pool. https://forkcast.org/eips/8094 eip-8094-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Raising the fee on a pending blob transaction currently means resending its entire data payload across the network, even though that data has not changed. This proposal separates the two: blob transactions travel without their data, and a node fetches the data by content only when it does not already have it. https://forkcast.org/eips/8219 eip-8219-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Solidity and Vyper guard every arithmetic operation against overflow by default, but the EVM has no instruction for it, so compilers wrap each one in a multi-instruction check. This proposal adds four opcodes that do the arithmetic and revert on overflow, underflow, or division by zero in a single step. https://forkcast.org/eips/8261 eip-8261-informational-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds an optional list of gas limit changes by epoch to consensus client config. Validators who never set their own preference adopt the scheduled value at the right time, so raising the network's gas limit no longer depends on operators installing a new release first. https://forkcast.org/eips/8355 eip-8355-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Contracts have no way to check a post-quantum signature. This proposal adds three precompiles for ML-DSA, the lattice scheme NIST has standardized, at its three security levels. They take the key, signature, and message exactly as the standard encodes them. https://forkcast.org/eips/8358 eip-8358-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Moving ether costs the same every time, even when the same accounts are touched over and over in one transaction, though the network only writes each account to disk once. This proposal charges the write once per account and refunds it when a balance ends where it started. https://forkcast.org/eips/8368 eip-8368-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT EIP-8037 prices each new byte of state using a figure derived from a 150 million gas block. Raise the gas limit and that figure no longer holds state growth to target. This proposal re-derives it for a higher limit. The new numbers are not yet decided. https://forkcast.org/eips/8372 eip-8372-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Blocks under the new state gas rules reserve as much room for creating state as for running code, but real demand rarely splits evenly, leaving one side underused. This re-tunes the price of new state and resizes its share of the block so both fill up at roughly the same rate. https://forkcast.org/eips/8374 eip-8374-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Reading state for the first time costs more than reading it again, because the client has to fetch it from disk. Today that discount is thrown away when a call reverts, even though the data is still in memory. This proposal keeps it for the rest of the transaction. https://forkcast.org/eips/8375 eip-8375-proposed-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Only the base fee is burned today; priority fees and builder payments go to proposers, and rare jackpot slots make validator income wildly uneven. This proposal burns a fixed fraction of both, and has the payload timeliness committee publish the best public bids it saw so proposers cannot quietly accept a lowball one. https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-8 event-glamsterdam-devnet-8-launches-2026-08-13 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/8142 eip-8142-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT If validators check blocks with a proof instead of running the transactions themselves, nobody is forced to download what the block contains, and a producer could publish a valid proof while keeping the contents to itself. This proposal requires that data to be published as blobs in the same block, so it is always available. https://forkcast.org/eips/8198 eip-8198-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum's twelve-second slot time is hardcoded throughout consensus clients, so changing it means a client-wide refactor rather than flipping a setting. This proposal makes slot duration a runtime configuration and uses it to shorten slots, scaling gas and blob limits so throughput per second is unchanged. https://forkcast.org/eips/8333 eip-8333-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Each epoch's checkpoint is anchored to that epoch's first block, which the earliest committee must vote on almost the moment it appears. When the block is late those votes split, and the losing half earn nothing. This proposal anchors the checkpoint to the last block before the epoch instead. https://forkcast.org/eips/8359 eip-8359-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Nobody knows which clients validators actually run. Today it is guessed from fingerprinting, crawlers, relays, or graffiti conventions, all of which are unreliable. This proposal adds a 32-byte field to the block where a proposer can state its consensus client, execution client, and setup type. https://forkcast.org/eips/8363 eip-8363-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum currently pays more total staking rewards as more ETH is staked, encouraging ever-higher staking. This proposal burns a rising fraction of validator rewards as the staking ratio grows, so net yields taper toward zero near 50% staked. Staking stays attractive when participation is low, while over-staking and dilution of ETH holders are curbed. https://forkcast.org/eips/8365 eip-8365-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT About 9,000 validators still use the original genesis-era withdrawal format, which has no execution address, so nobody can exit them if the key is lost. This proposal exits every one of them and stops new ones being created, while leaving the path to convert credentials open. https://forkcast.org/eips/8367 eip-8367-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Retiring the old genesis-era validators leaves thousands of frozen entries holding real ether that the network must carry forever. This proposal caps their balances at a ceiling that falls to zero over a published multi-year schedule, so the final cleanup deletes nothing anyone owns. https://forkcast.org/eips/8369 eip-8369-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Inclusion lists only work if every node can cheaply agree on whether a skipped transaction was genuinely invalid. Ordinary transactions are easy to check; account abstraction transactions can depend on almost any state. This document maps out which transactions are cheap enough to enforce, without setting any rules itself. https://forkcast.org/eips/8371 eip-8371-proposed-2026-08-06 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Under PeerDAS each node holds a slice of every blob, so rebuilding missing data falls to supernodes that hold everything, and they all redo the same work. This proposal adds per-blob channels so different nodes rebuild different blobs, and ordinary nodes can help. https://forkcast.org/eips/2780 eip-2780-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Changes base tx cost for more efficiency in cold/hot state management and improving ETH monetary functions. Lowering basic ETH tranfers to 6,000 gas and charging extra 25,000 for new account creation. Alternative to increasing block gas limit. https://forkcast.org/eips/7688 eip-7688-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT This EIP stabilizes Merkle tree indices for all consensus data, preventing coincidental verifier breakage when fields are added, removed, or list capacities change during Ethereum upgrades. https://forkcast.org/eips/7997 eip-7997-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Enables developers to deploy smart contracts at identical addresses across EVM chains. https://forkcast.org/eips/8038 eip-8038-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Increases gas costs for accessing state data to ensure alignment with current performance. https://forkcast.org/eips/8045 eip-8045-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT After a slashing event, punished validators can still be scheduled to propose blocks, causing missed slots and slow recovery. This change simply skips slashed validators so healthy ones keep proposing and the chain keeps running. https://forkcast.org/eips/8061 eip-8061-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Raises limits on how many validators can activate, exit, or consolidate each epoch and separates consolidation churn, improving validator consolidation speed and easing deposit and exit queues while preserving a long weak-subjectivity period and existing security assumptions. https://forkcast.org/eips/8246 eip-8246-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT In a few rare cases a contract can still permanently destroy the ether it holds, the last remaining way ether can leave circulation through the virtual machine. This change keeps the balance instead, while still wiping the contract's code and storage, and removes a special case that every client, specification, and test suite has to carry. https://forkcast.org/eips/8282 eip-8282-scheduled-2026-08-04 Tue, 04 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT EIP-7732 (ePBS) adds 'builders' as a new staked role. Today builders join and leave through the same contracts validators use. This adds dedicated deposit and exit contracts just for builders, keeping the two apart, simplifying client code, and limiting how many costly signature checks an attacker can force per block. https://forkcast.org/eips/7666 eip-7666-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT This removes the identity precompile (at address 0x04) and replaces it with actual EVM code that does the same thing - simply copying input data to output data. The identity precompile was originally needed because there was no direct way to copy memory, but since the MCOPY opcode was introduced, this precompile is no longer necessary. Removing it reduces maintenance burden and complexity for Ethereum clients, including ZK-EVMs. This serves as a template for potentially removing other underused precompiles in the future, like certain hash functions. https://forkcast.org/eips/7668 eip-7668-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Bloom filters were supposed to provide log filters for applications but they do not work as originally intended. Under this EIP, the field is not entirely removed but needs to be empty. Applications should seek alternative and decentralized solution to fetching relevant logs. https://forkcast.org/eips/7807 eip-7807-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT This changes how Ethereum stores and shares block data between its two layers. Instead of converting between multiple formats (JSON, RLP, SSZ), everything uses one binary format. This makes blocks faster to transmit, easier to verify, and enables efficient proofs of specific data without needing entire blocks. https://forkcast.org/eips/7819 eip-7819-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds a new instruction for upgradeable, lightweight contract clones via EIP-7702 delegation. This is similar to upgradable proxy contracts but enabled natively on protocol level, therfore cutting gas and complexity. https://forkcast.org/eips/7906 eip-7906-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Signing a transaction today means trusting code most people cannot read, with no way to state what it must not do. This proposal adds instructions that let a check run at the end of a transaction, see everything that changed, and cancel the whole thing if the outcome is not what was expected. https://forkcast.org/eips/8115 eip-8115-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Every transaction pays a tip to whoever produces the block, and each tip is credited the moment that transaction finishes. The producer's balance therefore changes hundreds of times per block. This proposal adds the tips up and pays them once, after all of the block's transactions have run. https://forkcast.org/eips/8116 eip-8116-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A transaction's receipt records gas as a running total for everything in the block so far, not what that transaction itself used, so working out one transaction's cost means fetching the receipt before it too. This proposal records each transaction's own gas directly, and numbers its logs the same way. https://forkcast.org/eips/8200 eip-8200-proposed-2026-07-30 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Three of Ethereum's built-in cryptographic helpers are hand-written into every client, and each one is a place where implementations can quietly disagree. This proposal replaces them with ordinary EVM bytecode deployed at the same addresses, so contracts calling them keep working unchanged. https://forkcast.org/eips/8015 eip-8015-proposed-2026-07-23 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Staking deposits used to reach the beacon chain by having block proposers vote on what the execution chain contained. That job now happens directly in the protocol, but the old voting fields still sit in every block and in the chain's state. This proposal deletes them, along with the voting machinery proposers still run. https://forkcast.org/eips/8321 eip-8321-proposed-2026-07-23 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum's randomness depends on each proposer's signature being the only one it could possibly have produced. A quantum computer could recover a validator's key and predict every future contribution, and the planned post-quantum signature lacks that uniqueness. This proposal replaces the signature with a chain of hashes. https://forkcast.org/eips/8334 eip-8334-proposed-2026-07-23 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Every attestation is gossiped as its own message, and nearly all of them repeat the same vote data. This proposal sends them in bundles that state the shared data once, and has peers reconcile which ones they hold by validator index. https://forkcast.org/eips/8341 eip-8341-proposed-2026-07-23 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Under ePBS a builder's bid commits to the block hash, which contains the state root, so the builder must commit every state change to the trie for each bid it updates. This proposal leaves the state root out of the bid, so one computation per slot suffices. https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-7 event-glamsterdam-devnet-7-launches-2026-07-14 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/7973 eip-7973-proposed-2026-07-08 Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Changes gas rules so once an account is updated in a transaction, later updates to it are cheaper, aligning fees with actual state-root work and reducing the penalty for repeated ETH transfers or future value-transfer opcodes. https://forkcast.org/eips/7862 eip-7862-proposed-2026-07-02 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Before a block can be accepted, someone has to compute a fingerprint summarizing all of Ethereum's data after that block runs, and this is one of the slowest steps in producing a block. This proposal shifts that fingerprint one block later, so each block carries the previous block's result and validators no longer wait on it. https://forkcast.org/eips/8146 eip-8146-proposed-2026-07-02 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A block access list summarizes everything a block touches. It is large, around 70 KB and sometimes far more, and today it travels bundled with the block on the most time-critical path of the slot. This proposal moves it to its own channel, published early, so clients can start preparing before the block arrives. https://forkcast.org/eips/8250 eip-8250-proposed-2026-07-02 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A sender's transactions are processed in one strict order, so a single stuck transaction blocks every later one. Privacy protocols route many unrelated users through one shared sender, where that queue becomes a bottleneck. This proposal lets each transaction pick its own independent nonce sequence. https://forkcast.org/eips/8272 eip-8272-proposed-2026-07-02 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A transaction cannot read another application's storage while it is being validated, because one changing value could invalidate thousands of pending transactions at once. But privacy applications need to prove a spend against a recent tree root. This proposal lets a transaction name that root in its signed envelope instead. https://forkcast.org/eips/8298 eip-8298-proposed-2026-07-02 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Deploying many contracts that share identical code means paying to store those same bytes over and over. This proposal adds an instruction letting an account set up its own storage and then adopt the code already deployed at another address. It also gives an account a way to permanently retire its original key. https://forkcast.org/eips/8080 eip-8080-declined-2026-06-25 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Changes how validator exits are queued by letting them share capacity with the consolidation queue. Removes an advantage for very large validators and lets more stakers exit or rebalance quickly without weakening security. https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-6 event-glamsterdam-devnet-6-launches-2026-06-25 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/2488 eip-2488-proposed-2026-06-18 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT CALLCODE is an original Ethereum instruction that proved flawed within months of launch and was superseded by DELEGATECALL in early 2016. Almost nothing uses it, yet every client must still implement it. This proposal makes CALLCODE always report failure, so the behavior behind it no longer has to be carried forward. https://forkcast.org/eips/7645 eip-7645-proposed-2026-06-18 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Two EVM instructions report who is calling a contract: one gives the immediate caller, the other gives whoever started the whole transaction. The second has been discouraged since 2016, because a contract that trusts it can be tricked into acting on someone else's behalf. This proposal makes both return the immediate caller. https://forkcast.org/eips/8189 eip-8189-networking-2026-06-18 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Speeds up node syncing. Today a syncing node chases down missing pieces of state one request at a time. This lets it instead download the record of what each block changed and apply those changes in order, so the remaining work is known upfront. https://forkcast.org/eips/8304 eip-8304-proposed-2026-06-18 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Looking up past events means asking a provider and trusting the answer, because the filter stored in block headers is long since saturated and effectively useless. This proposal has each block build a small searchable index and commit it in a system contract, so a provider's answer can be proven correct. https://forkcast.org/eips/8243 eip-8243-proposed-2026-06-11 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Every validator publishes its own attestation each slot, roughly 31,000 messages spread across 64 subnets. Operators running many validators send the same vote over and over. This proposal lets those validators authorize one of their number to publish a single combined attestation on their behalf. https://forkcast.org/eips/7851 eip-7851-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT An account upgraded to run wallet code still keeps its original private key, which can take control back or be stolen. This proposal adds an instruction that the wallet code itself can run to retire that key permanently, while leaving the code free to point the account at different wallet software later. https://forkcast.org/eips/7979 eip-7979-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Introduces instructions to call and return from subroutines, which are missing from the EVM. This lets compilers generate code with static control flow, which allows for more performant clients and quadradictally more efficient static analysis tools https://forkcast.org/eips/8131 eip-8131-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum charges a minimum price per byte of content a transaction carries, so that a cheap block can never be an enormous one. That floor covers calldata and access lists, but newer authorization and blob fields pay nothing. This proposal charges every user-controlled byte the same flat rate, whichever field it sits in. https://forkcast.org/eips/8151 eip-8151-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT The signature-checking building block that contracts rely on ignores whether the account it identifies has since moved to a different security model. That lets an old key keep approving token transfers through contracts that can never be updated. This proposal makes it return nothing once the account's code shows it has moved on. https://forkcast.org/eips/8173 eip-8173-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT The EVM lets a program jump to an address it computes while running, so tools cannot tell where the code will go without executing it. This document changes nothing in the protocol. It traces how control flow works in computing and why making it predictable matters for Ethereum's scaling plans. https://forkcast.org/eips/8279 eip-8279-proposed-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum charges a minimum price per byte a transaction adds to a block, so a cheap block can never be an enormous one. Block access lists are a new source of bytes that nothing prices, letting an attacker inflate a block to 1.55 MB using cold storage reads. This proposal meters them at the same rate. https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-5 event-glamsterdam-devnet-5-launches-2026-06-04 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/8148 eip-8148-proposed-2026-05-28 Thu, 28 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Currently, validator size choice is limited to 32 ETH (0x01) and 2048 ETH (0x02). This approach is very inflexible. Many solo stakers and professional operators defer migration from 0x01 to 0x02 because of the liquidity concerns. This EIP enables an arbitrary size of the 0x02 validator, ranging from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, with liquidity concerns eliminated by the fact that any excess stake above the validator-owner-defined threshold is automatically swept to EL WC. https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-4 event-glamsterdam-devnet-4-launches-2026-05-22 Fri, 22 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/4758 eip-4758-proposed-2026-05-21 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT SELFDESTRUCT lets a contract erase its own code and storage in one step. Wiping an account that way will not be workable under the planned state layout, where an account's data is spread across many unconnected keys. This proposal keeps only the useful part: the instruction still sends the account's entire ETH balance to the caller, but deletes nothing. https://forkcast.org/eips/8182 eip-8182-proposed-2026-05-21 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds a protocol-managed shielded pool for private ETH and compatible ERC-20 transfers. Transfers inside the pool hide token, amount, and counterparties on-chain. Spending uses a fork-managed pool proof plus user-selected auth verifier contracts, with no admin key, proxy, pause path, or on-chain upgrade mechanism. https://forkcast.org/eips/8188 eip-8188-proposed-2026-05-21 Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum keeps no record of when each piece of its state was last changed, so clients guess with local caches that no two nodes agree on. This proposal records the block number of each account's and slot's last write, giving every client the same signal for which state is actively churning. https://forkcast.org/eips/8025 eip-8025-proposed-2026-05-14 Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Normally every validator must replay each block's transactions against the full Ethereum state to check it is valid - costly work that grows with the gas limit. This feature lets volunteer nodes produce small cryptographic proofs that others can verify cheaply, without holding the state. It is fully opt-in and changes no consensus rules. https://forkcast.org/eips/7708 eip-7708-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Make every ETH transfer—including from contracts and SELFDESTRUCT—emit an event log. Apps and explorers can track ETH movements uniformly, similar to ERC-20 transfers, improving deposit detection and reducing ad-hoc tracing. https://forkcast.org/eips/7709 eip-7709-proposed-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Reading recent block hashes via the BLOCKHASH opcode currently relies on a special protocol shortcut. This change makes it work like any other storage read, using the EIP-2935 history contract, with matching gas costs. It removes a special case and helps stateless and proving systems treat block hashes uniformly. https://forkcast.org/eips/7778 eip-7778-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Closes a loophole where gas refunds let blocks pack extra work. Refunds still reduce user costs, but don't shrink the block's counted gas. Aligns block size with real EVM work and reduces worst-case block-size variance. https://forkcast.org/eips/7843 eip-7843-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Let contracts directly read the current slot number cheaply, removing timestamp math and reducing breakage if Ethereum's slot duration changes later. https://forkcast.org/eips/7954 eip-7954-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Raises limits so developers can deploy larger contracts: up to 64KiB deployed code and 128KiB initcode after a fork. Existing contracts remain valid. https://forkcast.org/eips/7976 eip-7976-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Increases the cost for data storage in transactions to help ensure Ethereum runs smoothly. https://forkcast.org/eips/7981 eip-7981-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adjusts transaction costs for access lists to balance gas fees and prevent block size inflation. https://forkcast.org/eips/8024 eip-8024-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds new instructions to increase the reachable elements of the stack. https://forkcast.org/eips/8037 eip-8037-scheduled-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Proposes to increase gas costs for state creation to mitigate state growth under higher throughput regimes. https://forkcast.org/eips/8253 eip-8253-proposed-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT A quirk of Ethereum's early years left 28 accounts holding storage but looking brand new, so a future contract deployment could in principle land on top of one. Today every deployment pays an extra check to prevent that. This proposal instead marks those 28 accounts as used, once. https://forkcast.org/eips/8254 eip-8254-declined-2026-05-07 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Limits the number of deposit requests in an Execution Layer block to 8192 https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-3 event-glamsterdam-devnet-3-launches-2026-05-06 Wed, 06 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-2 event-glamsterdam-devnet-2-launches-2026-04-30 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-1 event-glamsterdam-devnet-1-launches-2026-04-29 Wed, 29 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/glamsterdam-devnet-0 event-glamsterdam-devnet-0-launches-2026-04-24 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/8163 eip-8163-proposed-2026-04-23 Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Other chains that run the EVM cannot add their own instructions without risking a clash with a future Ethereum instruction claiming the same byte. This proposal sets one byte aside, promising Ethereum mainnet will never give it meaning, so other chains can build extensions on it safely. https://forkcast.org/eips/8237 eip-8237-proposed-2026-04-23 Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Once execution payloads travel separately from beacon blocks, a consensus client syncing a long range still has to download every payload just to confirm the two agree. This proposal replaces that check with a running hash chained across blocks, verifiable in one pass after the execution layer catches up. https://forkcast.org/eips/7716 eip-7716-proposed-2026-04-16 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT A validator that misses its vote is penalized the same amount whether it failed alone or alongside thousands of others at the same moment. This proposal scales that penalty by how much of the network missed in the same slot, so isolated failures cost less and simultaneous ones cost more. Spreading a setup across different clients, machines, and providers becomes economically worthwhile. https://forkcast.org/eips/8136 eip-8136-networking-2026-04-16 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Optimization for disseminating only previously unseen cells to the network for PeerDAS. https://forkcast.org/eips/8205 eip-8205-proposed-2026-04-16 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT In delegated staking, a dishonest node operator can make a small deposit first, set its own withdrawal address, and steal the much larger deposit made later by the staking protocol. Today, each protocol needs its own protection against this attack. EIP-8205 provides one simple shared solution: the operator commits to the expected withdrawal address before deposit, and Ethereum enforces it. Protocols can opt in; other deposits are unchanged. https://forkcast.org/eips/8184 eip-8184-declined-2026-03-12 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT Hides transaction details until they are locked into a block, preventing front-running and sandwich attacks. Users can safely broadcast transactions publicly without exposing them to exploitation. The system works with different encryption methods, including letting users decrypt their own transactions, reducing dependence on trusted intermediaries. https://forkcast.org/eips/8105 eip-8105-withdrawn-2026-02-23 Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT Note: withdrawn from Hegota headliner proposals [here](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/hegota-headliner-proposal-eip-8105-universal-enshrined-encrypted-mempool-eem/27448/3) on 23 Feb, in favor of LUCID encrypted mempools. Adds a built-in encrypted mempool option: you can submit an encrypted transaction that stays unreadable until it's included in a block. This reduces front-running and sandwich attacks and can improve real-time censorship resistance. Regular plaintext transactions still work, and the chain continues even if key providers fail. https://forkcast.org/eips/7805 eip-7805-scheduled-2026-02-19 Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT FOCIL empowers multiple validators to mandate the inclusion of specific transactions in each block, thereby improving the network's censorship resistance properties. https://forkcast.org/eips/7975 eip-7975-networking-2026-02-12 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT When Ethereum processes more transactions per block, the receipts can get too large to send in one network message. This lets nodes request receipts in smaller chunks, preventing sync failures as the network scales. https://forkcast.org/eips/8159 eip-8159-networking-2026-02-12 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT Allows Ethereum nodes to share block access lists over the network. These lists record which accounts and storage slots a block touched, enabling faster syncing and parallel transaction processing. https://forkcast.org/eips/7872 eip-7872-declined-2026-01-29 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Lets node operators set a cap on how many blob-carrying transactions their local builder includes in a block, helping bandwidth-constrained setups avoid overfilling blocks with blobs. https://forkcast.org/eips/7949 eip-7949-declined-2026-01-29 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Standardizes genesis file structure to streamline compatibility across Ethereum clients, aiding smoother network launches. https://forkcast.org/eips/7793 eip-7793-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds support for conditional transaction that is only valid at a chosen spot in a block, improving support for encrypted mempools. https://forkcast.org/eips/7903 eip-7903-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT This removes the 49,152-byte limit on initialization code (initcode) that was introduced by EIP-3860. The problem this solves is that the current limit makes it unnecessarily difficult to deploy large, complex smart contracts that need to create multiple sub-contracts in a single transaction. For example, if you want to deploy a sophisticated DeFi protocol that consists of several interconnected contracts, you might hit the initcode limit even though each final contract stays under the 24KB deployed code limit (EIP-170). This forces developers to split deployments across multiple transactions, which is more expensive, less efficient, and breaks the clean abstractions that high-level programming languages try to provide. By removing this artificial limit, the EIP allows for more flexible deployment patterns while still maintaining security through existing gas costs that scale with initcode size. The per-block gas limit already naturally restricts initcode to reasonable sizes (around 16MB at current gas limits), making the 49KB cap redundant. This change is fully backward compatible and only removes restrictions without changing how contracts work. https://forkcast.org/eips/7907 eip-7907-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Increases the contract code size limit from 24KB to 256KB and introduces gas metering for larger contracts. This will enable developers to deploy larger files and applications in a single contract instead of more complex multi contract architecture. https://forkcast.org/eips/7971 eip-7971-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Makes transient storage cheaper and sets a hard cap on how much can be used per transaction. This reduces gas for common patterns while protecting nodes from excessive memory use. https://forkcast.org/eips/8032 eip-8032-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adjusts gas costs for SSTORE operations based on how much data a contract holds, incentivizing efficient storage management. https://forkcast.org/eips/8051 eip-8051-declined-2026-01-15 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Adds two precompiles for signature verification that are safe against Quantum Computer analysis. One is an NIST standard FIPS-204 whereas the other replaces the XOF with Keccak, which is more accessible to EVM implementation. https://forkcast.org/eips/8070 eip-8070-networking-2026-01-08 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum nodes fully download only some blob transactions and sample the exact blob pieces the consensus layer cares about, cutting Execution Layer bandwidth roughly fourfold while keeping blob transactions moving. https://forkcast.org/networks/mainnet event-bpo2-on-mainnet-14-21-blobs-2026-01-07 Wed, 07 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/7745 eip-7745-declined-2026-01-05 Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum currently uses bloom filters in each block header to help search event logs, but they are inefficient today. This proposal replaces them with a new Merkle-based log index that uses moderate extra consensus data yet greatly reduces bandwidth and computation for finding events, especially for light clients and indexing services. https://forkcast.org/eips/2926 eip-2926-declined-2025-12-18 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Breaks smart contract bytecode into fixed-size chunks stored in a Merkle Patricia Trie, reducing network bandwidth for block proof and resource consumption for real-time proving. https://forkcast.org/eips/7686 eip-7686-declined-2025-12-18 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT This proposal ties how much EVM memory a transaction can use directly to its gas. It simplifies memory pricing rules so each unit of gas corresponds to at most one byte of memory, making worst-case resource use easier to understand for operators and developers. https://forkcast.org/eips/7904 eip-7904-informational-2025-12-18 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Updates gas costs of all compute operatons to ensure they accurately reflect their computational workload. https://forkcast.org/networks/mainnet event-bpo1-on-mainnet-10-15-blobs-2025-12-09 Tue, 09 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/6404 eip-6404-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Moves Ethereum transactions from RLP to SSZ. This changes serialization and the block header's transactions_root, enabling more efficient proofs and future flexibility. Users should see no behavioral change. https://forkcast.org/eips/6466 eip-6466-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum receipts, which record each transaction's outcome, currently use RLP and are hard to prove or verify. This proposal moves receipts to SSZ, enabling easier proofs, removing bloated logs bloom, and adding data to verify common receipt information. https://forkcast.org/eips/7619 eip-7619-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Provide cost-efficient (ecrecover cost not MGas) verification of Falcon-512 signatures, one of the Post-Quantum Signatures being standardized by NIST. https://forkcast.org/eips/7791 eip-7791-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT EIP-7791 creates native fee mechanism for decentralized application by introducing a new GAS2ETH opcode that allows smart contracts to convert gas directly into ETH and send it to a specified address. It provides a new monetization mechanism for smart contract authors and public goods projects that scales with network usage. Instead of complex fee structures or token schemes, developers can charge gas (which users already understand) and receive proportional compensation during high network activity periods. The opcode takes a target address and gas amount, deducts the gas from the transaction, calculates the ETH value using the current gas price, and transfers that ETH to the specified address. https://forkcast.org/eips/7932 eip-7932-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Creates a standardized way for new transaction-level signature algorithms to be added, which allows easier migration and higher interoperability with current systems. https://forkcast.org/eips/8011 eip-8011-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Improves resource allocation by allowing separate metering for computation, data access, and storage, enhancing Ethereum's ability to handle resource limits more effectively. https://forkcast.org/eips/8013 eip-8013-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Adds five new EVM jump/call instructions that point to nearby code using a small offset instead of a pushed address, making contracts cheaper to run and easier for clients and tools to verify after Glamsterdam. https://forkcast.org/eips/8030 eip-8030-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Adds P256 signature support to the EIP-7932 algorithm registry to allow use with the registry interface. https://forkcast.org/eips/8053 eip-8053-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Counts gas in thousandths (milli-gas) during EVM execution for finer precision, then rounds to normal gas at transaction end. Fees and limits stay the same, so users and apps shouldn't notice changes. https://forkcast.org/eips/8057 eip-8057-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT Ethereum clients already cache recently used state, so touching the same contracts again soon is cheaper in practice. This EIP updates gas costs to reflect that reality: if an account or storage slot was accessed in the last few blocks, the first access in a new transaction costs less gas. Nothing else about how transactions work changes. https://forkcast.org/eips/8059 eip-8059-declined-2025-12-04 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT This proposal rebases Ethereum's gas unit by a factor of 1,000 to enable high-precision metering without fractional gas. All gas-related parameters and variables are increased by that factor. https://forkcast.org/networks/mainnet event-fusaka-live-on-mainnet-2025-12-03 Wed, 03 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/8062 eip-8062-declined-2025-11-27 Thu, 27 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT Adds a small 0.05% fee when old-style 0x01 validators auto-withdraw extra balance, keeping consolidation and costs fair. https://forkcast.org/eips/8071 eip-8071-declined-2025-11-27 Thu, 27 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT Prevents consolidation requests that would push the target validator's effective balance above the maximum. https://forkcast.org/eips/8068 eip-8068-declined-2025-11-13 Thu, 13 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT Makes staking treat 'skimmed' and 'compounding' validators the same by tweaking effective balance rules, so operators can consolidate without losing yield. https://forkcast.org/networks/hoodi event-fusaka-bpo2-on-hoodi-14-21-blobs-2025-11-12 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/hoodi event-fusaka-bpo1-on-hoodi-10-15-blobs-2025-11-05 Wed, 05 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/7999 eip-7999-withdrawn-2025-10-29 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT Simplifies fee management for transactions by allowing users to set one budget for various resources like storage and computation. https://forkcast.org/networks/hoodi event-fusaka-live-on-hoodi-testnet-2025-10-28 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/sepolia event-fusaka-bpo2-on-sepolia-14-21-blobs-2025-10-27 Mon, 27 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/6873 eip-6873-declined-2025-10-23 Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT Have nodes temporarily keep the original addresses and storage keys used before the Verge, so Ethereum can switch to Verkle trees smoothly. https://forkcast.org/eips/7667 eip-7667-declined-2025-10-23 Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT Increase gas for hashing to better match real costs, prevent hash-heavy block abuse, and keep Ethereum verification practical and decentralized. https://forkcast.org/networks/sepolia event-fusaka-bpo1-on-sepolia-10-15-blobs-2025-10-21 Tue, 21 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks/sepolia event-fusaka-live-on-sepolia-testnet-2025-10-14 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks event-fusaka-bpo2-on-hole-ky-14-21-blobs-2025-10-13 Mon, 13 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks event-fusaka-bpo1-on-hole-ky-10-15-blobs-2025-10-07 Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks event-fusaka-live-on-hole-ky-testnet-2025-10-01 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/networks event-fusaka-devnet-5-launches-2025-09-10 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 12:00:00 GMT https://forkcast.org/eips/7692 eip-7692-declined-2025-08-14 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT This introduces a new container format for EVM bytecode that enables code versioning, removes complex jump analysis, and paves the way for new execution environments like RISC-V and EVM64 within the same contract. This EIP was Declined for Inclusion from Fusaka on [April 28th](https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/04/29/checkpoint-2#eof) due to a lack of consensus on implementation details and the resulting potential slowdown of shipping PeerDAS. It has been re-proposed as a headlining feature in Glamsterdam with multiple variants to address community concerns. https://forkcast.org/eips/7782 eip-7782-declined-2025-08-14 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT This reduces Ethereum's slot time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds, making Ethereum a better confirmation engine for apps and rollups. Everyone benefits: users get faster confirmations with better censorship resistance, DeFi gets more efficient trading with lower fees, stakers get lower reward variability, and nodes get better resource utilization with smoother bandwidth usage. https://forkcast.org/eips/7886 eip-7886-declined-2025-08-14 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT Lets validators attest before execution by deferring execution outputs, improving throughput headroom. https://forkcast.org/eips/7937 eip-7937-declined-2025-08-14 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT This is the core EIP of the EVM64 collection, introducing 64-bit arithmetic operations to the EVM. The full EVM64 suite includes multiple EIPs enabling much more efficient mathematical computations by adding 64-bit operations alongside existing 256-bit ones. https://forkcast.org/eips/7942 eip-7942-declined-2025-08-14 Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:00 GMT This is a comprehensive solution to eliminate all known reorganization attacks on Ethereum.
