### Hard fork
|
||
[Spurious Dragon](./eip-607.md)
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
- `FORK_BLKNUM`: 2,675,000
|
||
- `CHAIN_ID`: 1
|
||
|
||
### Specification
|
||
|
||
If `block.number >= FORK_BLKNUM`, increase the gas cost of EXP from 10 + 10 per byte in the exponent to 10 + 50 per byte in the exponent.
|
||
|
||
### Rationale
|
||
|
||
Benchmarks suggest that EXP is currently underpriced by a factor of about 4–8.
