Podcasts

• EIP-7907: Meter Contract Code Size and Increase Limit with Qi Zhou | PEEPanEIP#152:
  • In this episode of PEEPanEIP, we dive into EIP-7907, a proposal aimed at increasing the maximum smart contract size on Ethereum. Learn why this change matters, how it impacts developers, and what it means for the future of complex dApps.
• EIP-7825: Tx Gas Limit Cap & EIP-7934: RLP Execution Block Size Limit with Giulio R | PEEPanEIP#151:
  • EIP‑7825 proposes a protocol‑enforced cap of 30 million gas per transaction, regardless of the overall block gas limit, to prevent individual transactions from consuming excessive block resources. This cap aims to improve network stability and guard against denial‑of‑service risks, especially as Ethereum evolves toward higher block gas limits and more complex transaction patterns.
