Chunk-Based Code Merkleization

Status history

1. Draft25 Aug 2020

Abstract

Code merkleization, along with binarification of the trie and gas cost bump of state-accessing opcodes, are considered as the main levers for decreasing block witness sizes in stateless or partial-stateless Eth1x roadmaps. Here we specify a fixed-sized chunk approach to code merkleization and outline how the transition of existing contracts to this model would look like.
