## Abstract
|
||
|
||
Since [EIP-3298](./eip-3298.md) gas refunds works for storage restores only inside the same transaction. For example [ERC-20](./eip-20.md) `approve` + `transferFrom` flow between 2 smart contracts according to [EIP-2200](./eip-2200.md) and [EIP-2929](./eip-2929.md) will cost nearly to `21600` gas with gas refund counter `20000`. But in case of reverting this subcall (containing both `approve` and `transferForm`) gas refund will be erased, while smart contract storage will remain unmodified. I think it should keep storage access costs, but still refund modification costs.
|
||
|
||
## Motivation
|
||
|
||
Сurrent full cancelling of gas refunds on internal reverts is too unfair. Users pay for non-modification same cost as for modification.
|
||
|
||
## Specification
|
||
|
||
Let's count all SSTORE gas costs within every subcall, excluding access costs. And on reverting any subcall let's not erase refund counter, but:
|
||
```
|
||
tx.gas_refund_counter = tx.gas_refund_counter - call.gas_refund_counter + MIN(call.gas_refund_counter, call.all_sstores_gas_cost)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
