One XEN wave would eat 69% of a day's state-gas target
· 6 min read
Ethereum added just under two million net storage slots on August 16. XEN Crypto was responsible for 1,464,993 of them.
That came from 5,747 transactions, only 0.31% of the day's transaction count. They used 26.3% of execution gas and left behind 73.7% of the net slot growth. Under the constants in EIP-8037, the XEN storage writes alone backcast to 149.25 billion state gas, or 69.2% of that day's 50% state-gas target at the observed block limits.
