Monad's MIP-8 Upgrade Brings Cheaper Storage Access

Guavy AI Editorial Team

CryptoSlate reported on the recent mainnet upgrade of Monad, an EVM-compatible blockchain. The upgrade, known as MIP-8, went live at 14:30 UTC on September 2 and brought significant changes to how the network charges contracts for reading storage.

The upgrade replaces slot-level warming with 128-slot, 4KB storage pages for gas accounting. This means that the first read on a page costs 8,100 gas, while subsequent reads within that page cost only 100 gas.

According to CryptoSlate, this change will make it cheaper to store and access data together when it is stored close by. The upgrade also preserves EVM execution semantics while changing the assumptions used by tooling that builds access lists, storage proofs, or gas estimates.
