  "title": "EIP-8032: Size-Based Storage Gas Pricing",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Adjusts gas costs for SSTORE operations based on how much data a contract holds, incentivizing efficient storage management.",
  "impacts": [
    "Users experience potentially lower costs as inefficient contracts incur higher fees.",
    "Developers are motivated to optimize storage usage, leading to better resource management.",
    "Wallets may see changes in cost calculations for contract interactions; minimal updates required.",
    "Tools need to adapt to new gas price calculations related to storage; ensures users are informed.",
    "L2s adopting this will align with mainnet behavior; expect similar updates and testing.",
    "Node operators update clients for enhanced gas calculations; no major disruptions expected.",
    "No new consensus mechanisms; standard fork coordination suffices without serialization changes.",
    "Implement updated gas calculations for SSTORE, ensuring compatibility with dynamic pricing changes.",
    "Encourages efficient contract design and reduces state bloat.",
    "Aligns storage costs with actual usage, promoting healthier network sustainability.",
    "Facilitates better resource allocation across the Ethereum ecosystem.",
    "Simplifies decision-making for contract storage management."
