## Abstract
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This EIP deprecates the `SELFDESTRUCT` opcode and warns against its use. A breaking change to this functionality is likely to come in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Discussions about how to change `SELFDESTRUCT` are ongoing. But there is a strong consensus that *something* will change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Documentation of the `SELFDESTRUCT` opcode is updated to warn against its use and to note that a breaking change may be forthcoming.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rationale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As time goes on, the cost of doing something increases, because any change to `SELFDESTRUCT` will be a breaking change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ethereum Blog and other official sources have not provided any warning to developers about a potential forthcoming change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Backwards Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This EIP updates non-normative text in the Yellow Paper. No changes to clients is applicable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Security Considerations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None.
