# EIPs Insight (February 2022)

## Summary
In February, the EIP repository received [**4** new proposals](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EIPsInsightFebruary2022#New-proposals-Draft) as `Draft`, [**3** proposals](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EIPsInsightFebruary2022#Last-Call-to-Final) are moved to `Final` and [**4** EIPs](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EthereumImprovementProposalsInsight/https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2F%40poojaranjan%2FEIPsInsightFebruary2022%23New-proposals-Draft#Draft-to-Review) moved to `Review` from `Draft`.

[**2** proposals](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EIPsInsightFebruary2022#New-proposals-Review-to-Last-Call) moved to `Last Call`. One of which, [EIP-2098](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2098) completed it's `Last Call` period but has changed it's type from *Informational* to *Standard Track (ERC)*. [**1** `Final` proposal](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EIPsInsightFebruary2022#Changes-to-Final-proposals) received minor edits.

This month we initiated onboarding new EIP editors following a simple [process for onboarding EIP editor apprentice](https://hackmd.io/@poojaranjan/EIP-ERC-Editor-handbook#How-can-an-apprentice-make-a-request-to-be-formally-onboarded-as-an-EIP-editior). We have an open [PR](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/4859) to onboard **Sam Wilson as a new EIP editor**.

**Other stats** - This repo has **3297 Forks** and **903** users have put it on the watchlist. Open [Pull Request-79](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pulls) & [Issues-92](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues).

### Changes to `Final` proposals
1. [EIP-2681: Limit account nonce to 2^64-1](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2681) Ref: [PR](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/4784)
Author's comment: Unfortunately we have to update the spec of this retroactive EIP, because there was misunderstanding regarding how CREATE/CREATE2 instructions report nonce overflow error.
It makes much more sense to return 0 rather than abort entire execution in this case, because this is like all other create-specific errors are reported (e.g. insufficient balance for transfer, account already exists, code size above limit, code starts with 0xEF).
And in fact I assumed that 0 result is the expected behavior both in [go-ethereum implementation](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/23853) and in [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/tests/pull/934), and these are already merged and released.
