--- eip: XXXX title: Linear EVM memory limits description: Adjust memory limits and gas limits of sub-calls to create a clear linear bound on how much total memory an EVM execution can consume author: Vitalik Buterin (@vbuterin) discussions-to: YYYY status: Draft type: Standards Track category: Core created: 2024-ZZ-WW --- ## Abstract Add a hard memory limit equal to the gas limit of the current context. Make the maximum gas cost of a sub-call depend on the memory used in the current context. The two rules together ensure that a transaction with N gas can use at most N bytes of memory. ## Motivation Today, memory pricing rules are complicated: we have the quadratic cost for expanding memory as well as the 63/64 rule for how much gas can go into a child call. This also makes it extremely hard to calculate a maximum possible amount of memory required to process a given EVM execution. The rules in this post simplify these rules, and add a new hard limit: an EVM execution with N gas can require at most N total bytes of memory to process. This limit is tight: there are easy ways for an N-gas call to use `N - O(1)` bytes of memory. ## Specification Change `memory_cost` from: ```python memory_size_word = (memory_byte_size + 31) / 32 memory_cost = (memory_size_word ** 2) / 512 + (3 * memory_size_word) ``` To: ``` memory_size_word = (memory_byte_size + 31) / 32 memory_cost = 3 * memory_size_word ``` If `memory_byte_size` exceeds the current call's `gas_limit`, revert with an error. When making any type of call, change the maximum gas limit from the current [EIP-150](eip-150.md) definition: ```python def max_call_gas(gas): return gas - (gas // 64) ``` To: ```python def max_call_gas(gas, memory_byte_size): return gas - max(gas // 64, memory_byte_size) ``` ## Rationale With this EIP introduced, there is a simple EVM implementation that can process an N-gas call using an N-byte bytearray as memory: allocate all bytes to the current context, when doing a child call use the remaining memory starting from the position `memory_byte_size` for the child call's memory, and so on recursively. Having this clean invariant is useful for EVM implementations, especially EVM implementations in constrained environments (eg. ZK-SNARK provers). The 3 gas per word memory expansion cost is retained because it is equivalent to MCOPY, and so the operation of clearing memory at the end of a child call (cheap in regular machines, but expensive in ZK-SNARKs) can be implemented with the same logic as that used to implement the MCOPY opcode itself. The 63/64 rule is maintained in order to maintain the current de-facto call stack depth limit of roughly `1 + log((gaslimit + 6300) / 6400) / log(64/63) = 537`. ## Backwards Compatibility Analysis TBD ## Security Considerations No security concerns were raised. ## Copyright Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](../LICENSE.md).
