--- eip: 8096 title: Increase Gas Cost of Point Evaluation description: Increases cost of point evaluation precompile author: Marcin Sobczak (@marcindsobczak), Kamil Chodoła (@kamilchodola), Marek Moraczyński (@MarekM25) discussions-to: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-8096-point-evaluation-precompile-gas-cost-increase/26867 status: Draft type: Standards Track category: Core created: 2025-12-02 requires: 4844 --- ## Abstract This EIP modifies the gas cost of `point evaluation` precompile introduced in [EIP-4844](./eip-4844.md). ## Motivation Currently the `point evaluation` precompile is underpriced relative to its resource consumption. This EIP aims to address these discrepancies by adjusting the gas cost and making `point evaluation` precompile sufficiently efficient to enable potential further increases in the block gas limit. ## Specification Upon activation of this EIP, the gas cost of calling the precompile at address `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000A` will be doubled from `50_000` gas to `100_000` gas. ## Rationale Benchmarking the `point evaluation` precompile revealed that its gas cost is significantly underestimated. This modification aim to ensure that the `point evaluation` precompile's performance no longer impedes potential increases to the block gas limit. ## Backwards Compatibility This EIP introduces a backwards-incompatible change. However, similar gas repricings have occurred multiple times in the Ethereum ecosystem, and their effects are well understood. ## Security Considerations This EIP does not introduce any new functionality or make existing operations cheaper, therefore there are no direct security concerns related to new attack vectors or reduced cost. ## Copyright Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](../LICENSE.md).
