|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
FORK_BLKNUM: 2,675,000 (Spurious Dragon)
|
||
|
||
### Specification
|
||
|
||
If `block.number >= FORK_BLKNUM`, increase the gas cost of EXP from 10 + 10 per byte in the exponent to 10 + 50 per byte in the exponent.
|
||
|
||
### Rationale
|
||
|
||
Benchmarks suggest that EXP is currently underpriced by a factor of about 4–8.
