This Wednesday is a big day for Ethereum
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>4/14/21 is the date of the Berlin Hard Fork which will make the Ethereum network more optimized, meaning <del>less gas fees</del> and harder to jeopardize the network.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/03/08/ethereum-berlin-upgrade-announcement/">https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/03/08/ethereum-berlin-upgrade-announcement/</a></p> <p>EIPs are proposals to network changes.</p> <pre><code>Berlin EIPs The Berlin upgrade introduces the following EIPs to the Ethereum network: EIP-2565: ModExp Gas Cost Lowers the cost of the ModExp (0x00..05) precompile; EIP-2929: Gas cost increases for state access opcodes Increases gas cost for SLOAD, *CALL, BALANCE, EXT* and SELFEDESTRUCT when used for the first time in a transaction; EIP-2718: Typed Transaction Envelope Introduces a new transaction type that is an envelope to enable easier support for multiple transaction types; EIP-2930: Optional access lists Adds a transaction type which contains an access list, a list of addresses and storage keys that the transaction plans to access.
