Ep 151EIP-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. It also helps enhance parallel execution and rollup batching, ensuring that a single oversized transaction doesn’t bottleneck block processing.EIP‑7934 proposes adding a protocol-level cap on the RLP-encoded size of execution-layer blocks, currently set at 10 MB plus a 512 KB margin, to prevent oversized blocks that strain network infrastructure. This cap addresses risks around network instability, such as slow block propagation, increased validation times, and potential consensus issues or DoS threats. While Ethereum already limits block processing by gas, explicitly bounding block bytes improves predictability and resilience in high-throughput scenarios or when adjusting gas limits upward.📄 EIP ReferenceEIP-7825: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7825EIP-7934: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7934Discussion Threads:EIP-7825: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-7825-transaction-gas-limit-cap/21848EIP-7934: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-7934-add-bytesize-limit-to-blocks/23589🎬 Related ContentPresentation: View SlidesNetwork Upgrade Inclusion Stages Episode: Watch Here💸 Support Ethereum Cat HerdersDonate: https://www.ethcatherders.com/donate👥 FeaturingGuest Speaker: Giulio RebuffoEthereum Cat Herders Team:Host: Pooja RanjanCoordinator: VaelynEditor: Akash🕒 Timestamps00:00 - Quick Recap00:33 - PEEPanEIP Intro00:47 - Introduction01:24 - About EIPs03:00 - Giulio Rebuffo Introduction04:53 - Presentation on EIP-7825 & EIP-793405:24 - Bottlenecks06:03 - State Growth06:45 - Bandwidth08:06 - History Size09:03 - Computation09:26 - Bottlenecks: Protocol Rule11:42 - EIP-782511:50 - EIP-7825: Reasons12:52 - EIP-7825: Capping Transaction Limit14:33 - EIP-793415:30 - EIP-7934: Network Specs16:01 - EIP-7934: Preventing MESSAGE_TOO_LARGE17:24 - EIP-7825 + EIP-793417:41 - Presentation EndEIP-7825 Questions18:33 - Giulio on arriving at the 30 million gas number20:21 - Giulio's take on setting the cap lower (e.g., ~16.7 million gas)21:27 - Parallelization22:31 - Where exactly are transactions over 30M gas rejected?

Ep 150EIP-7793: ASSERTTXINDEX opcode & EIP-7843: SLOTNUM opcode with Marc Harvey-Hill | PEEPanEIP#150

EIP-7793 introduces the ASSERTTXINDEX opcode (0xfb), which reverts a transaction unless it is executed at a specific index within a block. This is designed to support encrypted mempools by preventing reordering of decrypted transactions, effectively mitigating frontrunning risks. The opcode ensures static validation by requiring the expected index to be read from calldata at the start of execution. It has a fixed gas cost of 3.EIP-7843 introduces the SLOTNUM opcode (0x4b), allowing smart contracts to directly access the current slot number of a block. This removes the need to compute it from timestamps or include it as calldata, both of which are inefficient or error-prone. The slot number is calculated in the consensus layer and exposed at low gas cost (2), enabling more robust and future-proof smart contract design.📄 EIP ReferenceEIP-7793: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7793EIP-7843: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7843Discussion Threads:EIP-7843: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-7843-slotnum-opcode/22234EIP-7793: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-7793-asserttxindex-opcode/21513🎬 Related ContentPresentation: View Slides💸 Support Ethereum Cat HerdersDonate: https://www.ethcatherders.com/donate👥 FeaturingGuest Speaker: Marc Harvey-HillEthereum Cat Herders Team:Host: Pooja RanjanCoordinator: VaelynEditor: Akash🕒 Timestamps00:00 - Quick Recap00:37 - PEEPanEIP Intro00:51 - Introduction01:23 - About EIPs02:17 - Marc Introduction03:24 - Presentation on EIP-7793 & 784303:34 - The Ethereum Roadmap04:10 - EIP-7843 - SLOTNUM opcode05:26 - EIP-7793 - ASSERTTXINDEX opcode06:00 - Motivation12:18 - Last Slide12:26 - Presentation End12:39 - Is the bundler a new system contract?13:37 - Use cases of these EIPs14:22 - What is EIP-7843 and what problem does it solve?17:09 - How easy is it to use EIP-7793?18:48 - Is this EIP targeted for Fusaka upgrade?20:21 - Community and client feedback21:54 - Security and Risk22:55 - EIPs deployment23:56 - Client Feedback24:54 - Marc's experience proposing the EIPs26:25 - Rapid Fire Round29:45 - Closing Words🔗 Follow Ethereum Cat HerdersX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ethcatherdersFarcaster: https://warpcast.com/ethcatherdersMedium: https://medium.com/ethereum-cat-herdersDiscord: https://discord.gg/H2eYpKCxxm#EIP7793 #EIP7843 #Ethereum #PEEPanEIP #eip
