  "title": "EIP-8038: State-access gas cost update",
  "status": "Draft",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Increases gas costs for accessing state data to ensure alignment with current performance.",
  "impacts": [
    "Users may experience cost adjustments for transactions related to state access.",
    "Developers must account for higher state access costs, potentially leading to adjustments in gas estimations during deployment.",
    "Wallets need to update gas estimation logic to incorporate the new parameters, affecting the transaction success rate.",
    "Tools must adapt to new gas cost models to ensure accurate reporting and analysis of transaction behaviors.",
    "L2 implementations need to align with the updated state access costs; anticipate necessary updates to ensure compatibility.",
    "Node operators must upgrade to new client versions to accommodate updated gas pricing; minimal impact on runtime behavior.",
    "No consensus changes expected for CL; only standard fork coordination. No new serialization or gossip rules necessitated by this proposal.",
    "Adaptations required in gas accounting for state access operations; must ensure compatibility with previous gas models and EIP-2929.",
    "Improved alignment of gas costs with actual state access performance.",
    "Enhanced network performance while maintaining optimal resource usage.",
    "Encourages more efficient smart contract design by reflecting true operational costs."
