Abstract
This proposal rebases Ethereum’s gas unit to a factor of REBASE_FACTOR to enable high-precision metering without introducing fractional gas. All gas-related parameters and variables are increased to a factor of REBASE_FACTOR. This reduces rounding errors that arise when repricing EVM operations and future-proofs gas costs as hardware improves and state access remains costly, while avoiding major…
