Abstract
This meta-EIP specifies the changes included in the Ethereum hardfork that removes EIP-1283 from Constantinople.
Specification
- Codename: Petersburg
- Aliases: St. Petersfork, Peter's Fork, Constantinople Fix
- Activation:
Block >= 7_280_000
on the Ethereum MainnetBlock >= 4_939_394
on the Ropsten testnetBlock >= 10_255_201
on the Kovan testnetBlock >= 4_321_234
on the Rinkeby testnetBlock >= 0
on the Görli testnet
- Removed EIPs:
- EIP-1283: Net gas metering for SSTORE without dirty maps
If Petersburg
and Constantinople
are applied at the same block, Petersburg
takes precedence: with the net effect of EIP-1283 being disabled.
If Petersburg
is defined with an earlier block number than Constantinople
, then there is no immediate effect from the Petersburg
fork. However, when Constantinople
is later activated, EIP-1283 should be disabled.
References
- The list above includes the EIPs that had to be removed from Constantinople due to a potential reentrancy attack vector. Removing this was agreed upon at the All-Core-Devs call #53 in January 2019.
