  "title": "EIP-7981: Increase Access List Cost",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Adjusts transaction costs for access lists to balance gas fees and prevent block size inflation.",
  "impacts": [
    "Improves transaction fairness by standardizing costs based on data usage.",
    "Encourages efficient transaction design due to higher costs for larger access lists.",
    "Could require updates to handle new cost structures in gas estimation.",
    "Need to adapt estimation tools for new access list pricing.",
    "Reduces potential for block size inflation leading to enhanced scalability.",
    "Minimal direct impact, but improved network health benefits all participants.",
    "Adjustments required for gas cost calculations influencing consensus protocols.",
    "Optimizes execution efficiency under new pricing impacting overall gas usage.",
    "Enhances economic model by charging based on resource usage, which promotes efficient transaction design.",
    "Increases network stability by reducing maximum block size through reduced incentive to use large access lists.",
    "Encourages fairer transaction costs across users by preventing underutilization of pricing structures.",
    "Maintains compatibility with existing EIP-2930 while introducing necessary changes to the access list gas calculations."
