## Abstract

This EIP modifies the gas cost of `point evaluation` precompile introduced in [EIP-4844](./eip-4844.md).

## Motivation

Currently the `point evaluation` precompile is underpriced relative to its resource consumption. This EIP aims to address these discrepancies by adjusting the gas cost and making `point evaluation` precompile sufficiently efficient to enable potential further increases in the block gas limit.

## Specification

Upon activation of this EIP, the gas cost of calling the precompile at address `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000A` will be doubled from `50_000` gas to `100_000` gas.

## Rationale

Benchmarking the `point evaluation` precompile revealed that its gas cost is significantly underestimated. This modification aim to ensure that the `point evaluation` precompile's performance no longer impedes potential increases to the block gas limit.

## Backwards Compatibility

This EIP introduces a backwards-incompatible change. However, similar gas repricings have occurred multiple times in the Ethereum ecosystem, and their effects are well understood.

## Security Considerations

This EIP does not introduce any new functionality or make existing operations cheaper, therefore there are no direct security concerns related to new attack vectors or reduced cost.
