Hard fork

Spurious Dragon

Parameters

  • FORK_BLKNUM: 2,675,000

Specification

If block.number >= FORK_BLKNUM, increase the gas cost of EXP from 10 + 10 per byte in the exponent to 10 + 50 per byte in the exponent.

Rationale

Benchmarks suggest that EXP is currently underpriced by a factor of about 4–8.
