  "title": "EIP-2780: Reduce intrinsic transaction gas",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Changes base tx cost for more efficiency in cold/hot state management and improving ETH monetary functions. Lowering basic ETH tranfers to 6,000 gas and charging extra 25,000 for new account creation. Alternative to increasing block gas limit.",
  "impacts": [
    "Lower fees means it's easier to use ETH for payments.",
    "Changes how fee is managed based on accessed state, lowers base cost for every kind of transaction.",
    "The fee cost estimation needs to be updated with new changes and complexity.",
    "Transaction analysis needs to distinguish new gas accounting.",
    "L2s aiming to be EVM compatible need to implement this change, ETH will can better for payments even on L2 chains.",
    "No direct impact, state growth should stay constrained.",
    "No direct impact on consensus.",
    "Changes in tx processing and gas accounting, potential performance overhead like gas limit increase",
    "Reduces the gas cost barrier for ETH transactions, promoting more frequent usage of the native token.",
    "Updates legacy fixed cost to new model based on the actual impact of the transaction..",
    "Improves monetary properties of ETH, making it a better payment tool"
