A recent decision by Ethereum developers to remove EIP 7907 from the Fusaka upgrade aims to ensure the stability of smart contracts and prevent changes in deployment conditions.
Removal of EIP 7907 from Fusaka Upgrade
During the 216th Ethereum Execution Layer Core Developer Meeting, it was decided to exclude EIP 7907 from the Fusaka upgrade. Tim Beiko confirmed that the smart contract code size limits remain unchanged, indicating a deferral to future upgrades.
Stability of Smart Contracts on Ethereum
This decision primarily impacts Ethereum (ETH), as it ensures cost stability for smart contracts and retains deployment conditions on the mainnet. No immediate market changes are expected, as these adjustments are primarily technical.
Ethereum's Development Strategy
Historical trends show that Ethereum has postponed EIPs in upgrades when concerns about implementation readiness arose. Stable smart contract conditions reassure developers, with further discussions deferred to the Glamsterdam fork. Stakeholder decisions underscore Ethereum’s iterative, safety-first evolution strategy, supported by historical precedents of similar decisions.
Thus, the current decision to exclude EIP 7907 reflects Ethereum's commitment to stability and cautious development of the protocol, which is supported by the developer community.
