BEP-312: Announce EIP-6049 Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT

1. Summary

As part of Shanghai upgrade, EIP-6049: Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT is required to be announced in the BSC community.

2. Abstract

This EIP deprecates the SELFDESTRUCT opcode and warns against its use. A breaking change to this functionality is likely to come in the future.

3. Motivation

Discussions about how to change SELFDESTRUCT are ongoing. But there is a strong consensus that something will change.

4. Specification

Documentation of the SELFDESTRUCT opcode is updated to warn against its use and to note that a breaking change may be forthcoming.

5. Rationale

As time goes on, the cost of doing something increases, because any change to SELFDESTRUCT will be a breaking change.

The Ethereum Blog and other official sources have not provided any warning to developers about a potential forthcoming change.

6. Backwards Compatibility

This EIP updates non-normative text in the Yellow Paper. No changes to clients is applicable.

7. Security Considerations

None.

Thank you for sharing. I am not an expert on BSC. Hopefully appropriate references can be added to the BEP to mention any official statements the BSC project has made or any analysis that has been made of impact on deployed BSC contracts.

It is possible that because BSC was deployed after ETH a more aggressive implementation of this BEP can be done than has been done on ETH with EIP-6049.
