EIP 4399 is about storing the Ethereum Random Number in the now useless DIFFICULTY field. https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4399

Currently we write into the "Difficulty" field the block number, but we could use this space to store the RNG number. That would save some space for blocks, and we would be more compatible with the ethereum standard.
