  "title": "EIP-8037: State Creation Gas Cost Increase",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Proposes to increase gas costs for state creation to mitigate state growth under higher throughput regimes.",
  "impacts": [
    "Users may experience higher transaction fees for creating new accounts and contracts, but improved scalability benefits all.",
    "Developers should anticipate increased deployment costs, necessitating adjustments to gas estimation tools and budget projections.",
    "Wallet developers need to update gas estimations to reflect new costs; otherwise, minimal code changes are needed.",
    "Tooling and infrastructure must accommodate new pricing models for transaction estimates, with only minor changes to existing tools.",
    "L2s adopting this EIP will align with mainnet behaviors, requiring thorough testing and client updates for accurate operations.",
    "Node operators will need to update their clients for new gas parameters; otherwise, operations and validation remain unchanged.",
    "Minimal changes expected for CL clients; primarily involves standard fork coordination with minimal complexity.",
    "Must integrate new gas costs into transaction handling, requiring updates to gas accounting and ensuring compatibility with existing EIP standards.",
    "Standardizes costs across all state creation operations.",
    "Mitigates excessive state growth, enhancing Ethereum's overall scalability.",
    "Encourages developers to optimize contract designs due to increased costs."
