Abstract

This EIP proposes to reduce the gas costs for transient storage operations (TLOAD and TSTORE) by implementing constant pricing. To prevent denial-of-service attacks through excessive memory allocation, a transaction-global limit on transient storage slots is introduced. This approach provides lower costs for common use cases while maintaining security against resource exhaustion attacks.
