Instant impact on all miners: The community is underneath assault. The assault is a computational DDoS, ie. Miners and nodes have to spend a really very long time processing sure blocks. That is as a result of EXTCODESIZE opcode, which has a reasonably low gasoline price however requires nodes to learn place info from disk; The attacking transaction is looking this opcode roughly 50,000 instances per block. The result’s that the community is slowing down rather a lot, however there isn’t any consensus failure or reminiscence overload. We’ve presently recognized a number of routes for extra sustainable medium time period options and builders are engaged on implementation.
