  "id": 7937,
  "title": "EIP-7937: EVM64 - 64-bit mode EVM opcodes",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "This is the core EIP of the EVM64 collection, introducing 64-bit arithmetic operations to the EVM. The full EVM64 suite includes multiple EIPs enabling much more efficient mathematical computations by adding 64-bit operations alongside existing 256-bit ones.",
  "impacts": [
    "Lower gas costs for applications requiring mathematical computations like DeFi protocols, gaming, and scientific applications.",
    "Can build much more efficient mathematical applications, implement better algorithms on-chain, and reduce gas costs for computation-intensive smart contracts.",
    "Indirect benefits through lower gas costs for mathematical operations in wallet-related smart contracts.",
    "Development tools, debuggers, and gas estimation systems need updates to support 64-bit operations and their gas costs.",
    "More efficient mathematical operations benefit Layer 2 proof generation and verification systems.",
    "More efficient computation reduces overall network computational load for mathematical operations.",
    "No direct impact on consensus layer operations as this affects execution layer computational capabilities.",
    "Major implementation work required for new 64-bit opcodes, proper gas accounting, and ensuring compatibility with existing 256-bit operations.",
    "Dramatically reduces gas costs for mathematical operations",
    "Enables more sophisticated on-chain calculations",
    "Improves performance for DeFi and gaming applications",
    "Makes the EVM more competitive with other smart contract platforms"
