### 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 48.
