Ethereum community members have introduced draft proposal EIP-8488, which would create V2 opcodes applying new gas pricing rules—aligned with EIP-8037 and EIP-8038—to newly deployed smart contracts while preserving existing execution costs for current contracts. New contracts would be version-tagged at deployment, and cross-contract calls under the new scheme would only support V2 contracts, with instructions like GAS and GASLIMIT removed to prevent new contracts from relying on legacy gas accounting. The proposal aims to limit the compatibility fallout from gas repricing on existing contracts and to pave the way for curbing on-chain state growth and gradually raising the gas limit. EIP-8488 remains in draft status and has not been implemented.
