[moodysalem]

I strongly prefer ethereum/EIPs#2593 for its simplicity and backwards compatibility, will this be considered in any modeling?

[timbeiko]

@moodysalem I think it could be good if you or a champion came on the call to give more details about it. I don't think most people are very familiar with it.

[danfinlay]

I'm willing to present ethereum/EIPs#2593 as a champion if needed, thanks for mentioning it, @moodysalem. The above Discord link has expired, though, so I'd need a new one.

[L-F-Escobar]

Whats the ETA on merging?

[timbeiko]

@danfinlay updated the link and added to the agenda

[noslav]
