title: Announce EIP-6049 Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT
author: yanghang8612@163.com
status: Final
type: Meta
category: VM
created: 2024-04-10
Summary
The SELFDESTRUCT opcode has been deprecated after the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade and its behavior has been modified after the Ethereum Cancun upgrade. For compatibility, EIP-6049: Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT is required to be announced in the TRON community firstly.
The following compatibility issues require community attention.
-
Contracts that depended on re-deploying contracts at the same address using CREATE2 (after a SELFDESTRUCT) may not function properly.
-
It may be no longer possible to burn TRX by calling SELFDESTRUCT targeting the executing contract as the beneficiary.
Original content from EIP-6049:
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.
