EIP-8279 explicit BAL data metering with net-zero refund
post-quantum keystore for stateful hash-based keys
Starknet v0.14.3 vote on EVM privacy and quantum security
should Ethereum ossify
misilva73 submitted a new EIP raising the calldata floor from 64 to 96 gas per byte, because a block full of transfers has an irreducible byte density, and also submitted an EIP-8279 refactor that meters BAL bytes with an explicit counter and adds a net-zero refund. ch4r10t33r submitted an EIP defining a keystore format for stateful hash-based keys such as XMSS. Starknet opened a vote on two v0.14.3 optimizations for EVM privacy and quantum security.
(misilva73), submitted, raising the calldata floor from 64/64 to 96/96 gas per byte. The motivation is that the 21,000-gas ETH transfer anchors both the execution and bandwidth dimensions of a block, and a block full of transfers has an irreducible byte density of about 0.0105 bytes per gas.
(misilva73), submitted. BAL bytes are metered in a per-transaction `bal_data_bytes` counter that only feeds the floor, with no new gas dimension and the same `max(execution, floor)` charge; a slot restored to its pre-transaction value (O→X→O) costs nothing, and repeated distinct writes (A→B→C) count once.
(ch4r10t33r), submitted, defining a keystore format for stateful hash-based signing keys such as the XMSS used by the lean Ethereum consensus layer. It extends EIP-2335 so the encrypted secret may be an XMSS seed, and adds the machinery a consumable key requires.
