[Ethereum EIP-8488 Draft Proposes New Opcode Mechanism for Version-Based Gas Fee Pricing] According to DeepFlow TechFlow, on November 9th, the Ethereum community recently proposed the EIP-8488 draft, which plans to introduce V2 opcodes to adopt new gas billing rules for newly deployed smart contracts, while retaining the original execution costs of existing contracts. According to the proposal, new contracts will be version-marked upon deployment and will use V2 opcodes conforming to the pricing rules of EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. The new cross-contract calls will only support V2 contracts, and instructions such as GAS and GASLIMIT, which directly obtain gas metering information, will be removed to avoid new contracts relying on old billing logic. This solution aims to reduce the impact of gas repricing on the compatibility of existing contracts and create conditions for future control of on-chain state growth and gradual increases in gas limits. Currently, EIP-8488 is still in the draft stage and has not yet been formally implemented.
