This EIP extracts the following verkle-specific behavior into a separate EIP to be included in a subsequent hard-fork (the verkle hard fork).

Changes

• Updates the behavior of the BLOCKHASH opcode, which should now be served from the system contract storage
• Updates the gas cost of the BLOCKHASH opcode to reflect the cost of an SLOAD operation
• Specifies that BLOCKHASH storage accesses should be contained in the verkle execution witness
