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-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.
