EIP-8037 Changes

EIP-7702 Auth Refund on Idempotent Delegation Clear

Spec + tests (#2848): Extend the auth state gas refund to the clear path. Caught by @rakita during revm impl review.

tests-bal@v7.1.0

This release targets bal-devnet-7 superseding the v7.0.0 release. It aims to resolve the set of spec changes for EIP-8037 aligning with EIPs#11573, EIPs#11616, EIPs#11611, EIPs#11606 & #2804:

• EIP-8037 cost_per_state_byte: raised from 1174 to 1530 (fixed value).
• EIP-8037 state byte parameters updated:
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT from 112 to 120,
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET from 32 to 64,
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_AUTH_BASE stays at 23.
• SYSTEM_CALL_GAS_LIMIT raised from 30M to 30M + STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET * CPSB * SYSTEM_MAX_SSTORES_PER_CALL, where the extra gas added to the 30M is set as the state gas reservoir for system contract calls. SYSTEM_MAX_SSTORES_PER_CALL = 16.
• Tx create halt/revert intrinsic state gas refunds, create address collision regular gas burn, 0 to x to 0 SSTORE refund isolation, and EIP-7702 intrinsic state gas refund bugs from bal-devnet-6 are all fixed.
• 🆙 New in v7.1.0: all SELFDESTRUCT state gas refunds have been removed from EIP-8037.
• 🆙 New in v7.1.0: EIP-7702 auth refund refill on non-empty code hash delegation pointer (small case missed in v7.0.0).
• 🆙 New in v7.1.0: 300+ extra tests fixed from the ported static skip list (#2839).

Note: this release is mirrored on execution-spec-tests.

Future Considerations

• EIP-8038 param alignment. The remaining piece of EIPs#11616 (regular-gas charge alignment with ACCOUNT_WRITE, STORAGE_WRITE, CALL_VALUE, COLD_ACCOUNT_ACCESS) is deferred until EIP-8038 lands in a devnet.
• Intrinsic state gas restructuring. Intrinsic state gas charges may be restructured in the next devnet with the inclusion of EIP-2780, likely shifting the intrinsic regular/state gas split:
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT * CPSB for contract creation txs
  • (STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT + STATE_BYTES_PER_AUTH_BASE) * CPSB for EIP-7702 authorizations

This bal-devnet-7 will be the last bal- prefixed devnet. Future devnet releases will be prefixed with glamsterdam-.

EIP-8037 Spec Related Changes

Remove SELFDESTRUCT State Gas Refunds (new in v7.1.0)

Spec + tests (#2845): All SELFDESTRUCT state gas refunds are removed from EIP-8037.

Rationale: SELFDESTRUCT is already deprecated and slated for removal. Refunding state gas for SD is a small win on state savings but creates ongoing incentive to keep using a deprecated opcode and complicates the 2D gas accounting model.

Parameter Updates

Spec + tests (#2827): Update COST_PER_STATE_BYTE from 1174 to 1530, STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT from 112 to 120, STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET from 32 to 64. Tests across the suite are updated to account for these increases.

Increase the System Call Gas Limit

Spec + test framework (commit 7b3e8016): Bumps the system transaction gas limit to 30M + STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET * CPSB * SYSTEM_MAX_SSTORES_PER_CALL. The extra portion goes into state_gas_reservoir, so state gas growth alone cannot OOG a system call. This is more for future proofing, if we ever increase the state gas costs or cost per state byte alongside block gas limit bumps.

Top Level Halt State Gas Refunds

Spec + tests (#2815): On a top level exceptional halt, refund the full state_gas_used including any portion that spilled into gas_left (the regular/shared gas pool) back to the reservoir.

EIP-7702 Refunds

Spec + tests (#2816): Include the EIP-7702 authorization state gas refund in block.state_gas_used so block level 2D gas accounting is consistent with the per tx gas accounting.

EIP-7702 Auth Refund Alignment (new in v7.1.0)

Spec + tests (#2836): When an EIP-7702 authorization targets a delegation pointer with non-empty code hash, refill the STATE_BYTES_PER_AUTH_BASE * CPSB state gas to the reservoir. This is the small case missed in v7.0.0 and aligns with point 1 of EIPs#11616. The remaining EIP-8038 parameter-alignment changes from EIPs#11616 are deferred until 8038 lands in a devnet.

Tx Create Halt/Revert Intrinsic Refunds

Spec + tests (#2823): Tx-level CREATE failures (revert/halt) didn't refund the intrinsic NEW_ACCOUNT * CPSB state gas charge back to the reservoir. Now it is refunded.

Isolated 0 to x to 0 Refunds

Spec + tests (#2823): The 0 to x to 0 state gas charge was propagated as a refund when the same-frame revert should have refunded it back to the reservoir. Now it's isolated.

Create Address Collision Burned Regular Gas

Spec + tests (#2823): Create address collisions burned regular gas that wasn't counted in block regular gas. Now it's counted.

tests-bal@v7.0.0

This release targets bal-devnet-7, following up from bal-devnet-6 during the Soldøgn interop. It aims to resolve the final set of spec changes for EIP-8037 aligning with EIPs#11573, EIPs#11616, EIPs#11611, EIPs#11606 & #2804:

• EIP-8037 cost_per_state_byte: raised from 1174 to 1530 (fixed value).
• EIP-8037 state byte parameters updated:
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT from 112 to 120,
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET from 32 to 64,
  • STATE_BYTES_PER_AUTH_BASE stays at 23.
• SYSTEM_CALL_GAS_LIMIT raised from 30M to 30M + STATE_BYTES_PER_STORAGE_SET * CPSB * SYSTEM_MAX_SSTORES_PER_CALL, where the extra gas added to the 30M is set as the state gas reservoir for system contract calls. SYSTEM_MAX_SSTORES_PER_CALL = 16.
• Tx create halt/revert intrinsic state gas refunds, create address collision regular gas burn, 0 to x to 0 SSTORE refund isolation, and EIP-7702 intrinsic state gas refund bugs from bal-devnet-6 are all fixed in this release.

Note: this release is mirrored on execution-spec-tests, so no infra update is required for now.

Future Considerations

Intrinsic state gas is the state dimension portion charged at the start of transaction validation. These charges may be restructured in the next devnet with the inclusion of EIP-2780, likely shifting the intrinsic regular/state gas split:

• STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT * CPSB for contract creation txs
• (STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT + STATE_BYTES_PER_AUTH_BASE) * CPSB for EIP-7702 authorizations

This will be the last bal- prefixed devnet release. Future devnet releases will be prefixed with glamsterdam-.

Tx Created Contracts Destroyed In Same Tx

Spec + tests (#2828): If a creation txs initcode SELFDESTRUCTs the new contract in the same tx, refund the intrinsic NEW_ACCOUNT * CPSB state gas so the tx doesn't over charge for an account that never persists.

tests-benchmark@v0.0.9

Summary

• Expanded benchmark coverage with worst-case scenarios across BAL, bloatnet ERC20, deep-branch SLOAD, and precompile categories.
• Refactored the benchmark framework: switched test collection to testpath, introduced generic ERC20 and precompile macros, and added repricing marker support for stateful benchmarks.
• Fixed multiple fill and gas accounting issues, improving stability across both execute-remote and fill modes.

Changes

• Added new worst-case benchmark tests covering bloatnet ERC20 stubs (various storage sizes), BAL optimization strategies, runtime-delegated EIP-7702, deep-branch stateful SLOAD, prefetcher performance, and EOA query scenarios.
• Introduced a precompile macro and an uncacheable precompile benchmark; added missing target opcodes for SMOD, MOD, and EXP.
• Refactored ERC20 benchmarks into a generic implementation, parametrized SLOAD-before-SSTORE scenario in approve, and switched mixed SLOAD/SSTORE benchmarks to runtime gas checking.
• Improved stateful benchmark infrastructure: added cache strategy support, repricing marker support, parametrized stubs via --address-stubs, and migrated test collection from marker-based to testpath-based.
• Added transaction status verification and ensured precompile benchmarks avoid cache hits across runs.
• Hardened gas accounting and fill behavior: fixed test_account_access for non-zero values, mint/approve fill issues, subcall OOG handling.
• Re-enabled benchmark tests in the test case reference docs and added --include-benchmark to the checklist tooling.

Notes

• Removed unused stateful benchmarks and unused bloatnet factory entries from mainnet stubs as part of cleanup.
• Excluded ecpairing zero-tx case from the benchmark path after fix.
