Abstract

This PIP specifies the changes included in the Polygon chain hard fork named Madhugiri.

Specification

• Codename: Madhugiri

Activation

Activation block:

• For Amoy - 28,899,616
• For Mainnet - TBC

Included PIPs:

PIP-74: Canonical Inclusion of StateSync Transactions in Block Bodies
PIP-75: Change consensus time to 1 second

Included EIPs:

• EIP-7883: ModExp Gas Cost Increase
• EIP-7823: Set upper bounds for MODEXP
• EIP-7825: Transaction Gas Limit Cap

Security Considerations

The above EIPs are part of the Fusaka Hardfork on Ethereum, these are included now to help mitigate potential DoS attack vectors. Hence, these inclusions improve the security stance of the network.

Looking at EIP 7607, there appear to be other EIPs that might be useful to include in this hard fork. My definition of “useful” for Polygon network is that they are not blob specific, and will likely be needed to ensure compatibility with tools designed for the Ethereum ecosystem.

Could the rationale for not including them be explained?

  • EIP-7934: RLP Execution Block Size Limit

  • EIP-7939: Count leading zeros (CLZ) opcode

  • EIP-7951: Precompile for secp256r1 Curve Support

  • EIP-7642: eth/69 - Drop pre-merge fields

  • EIP-7910: eth_config JSON-RPC Method
