Abstract

The current calldata pricing permits EL payloads of up to 7.15 MB, while the average size is much smaller at around 100 KB. This EIP proposes adjusting the calldata cost to reduce the maximum possible block size and its variance without negatively impacting regular users. This is achieved by increasing calldata costs for transactions that predominantly post data.
