Background

EIP-6110 was initally funded by ESP in February 2023. The previous estimation of the project length was two months and therefore we received two months of funding. However due to various challenges, we realized extra time is needed to complete the project. The project is semi-wrapped up in mid July after our presentation on ECH and ACDC albeit there is still a single outstanding item.

Long Term Plan

• Continuous effort including attending calls and conferences will be made to let the community be aware of this EIP. We hope the community will be in favour for it.
• Address the open questions
• Answer questions other client teams may have regarding the EIP.
• When the EIP is considered final, both EL and CL prototype code will need another round of analysis to ensure production quality before going live.
