EOS EVM Node v1.0.0-rc4
Pre-release
Introduction
The latest release candidate of EOS EVM Node includes updates to resolve an issue discovered with disproportionally high gas fees and insufficient returns for certain types of transactions related to the new gas fee algorithm.
Read on for more details.
Updates
Make an exception for privileged accounts when calculating gas
It was discovered that privileged accounts were being treated as if they were new, not previously created accounts when calculating gas fees. An update has been made to make an exception for these accounts for all operations.
Change max gas refund in ExecutionProcessor to 100% with a limit in the minimum gas used of 21k
In certain scenarios, where disproportionately high gas fees were charged, inadequate refunds were returned due to the max refund setting of 20% as part of the protocol. This value has been updated to a max of 100% to improve overall user experience as the next generation of the gas fee algorithm is developed.
