Here I am updating the eth/69 proposal with two changes:
Simplifying the receipts encoding. The original EIP proposed a new format for receipts with the bloom filter removed. It did that by mirroring the complex encoding for typed receipts which is also used by Ethereum consensus. Since the network protocol now introduces a deviation from the encoding used by consensus, there is no need to make it so complex.
Ultimately all receipt types contain the same four fields. So with this update, I am changing the network encoding to be the same for all receipt types.
I am adding a new field
earliestBlock
in theStatus
message. This is somewhat similar to EIP-7542, which proposed adding ablockRange
.
