Ethereum News Today: TRON Upgrades SELFDESTRUCT Instruction to Align with Ethereum EIP-6780 for Enhanced Security and Compatibility

The TRON community has proposed an upgrade to the SELFDESTRUCT instruction, aligning it with Ethereum’s EIP-6780 standards to improve network security and cross-chain compatibility. The changes aim to refine contract deletion behavior by restricting full contract removal to the same transaction in which the contract is created, otherwise leaving the contract intact while allowing asset transfers. This adjustment limits the potential for malicious or unintended deletions, enhancing the overall stability of the TRON blockchain [1].

A key element of the proposal involves increasing the energy cost of executing a SELFDESTRUCT instruction from 0 to 5000. This change introduces a financial disincentive for abuse of the instruction, which could otherwise be exploited to launch denial of service attacks or drain resources. By adopting this approach, TRON mirrors Ethereum’s strategy for managing gas costs in a way that supports a more secure and predictable network environment [1].

The alignment with Ethereum standards is a strategic move for TRON, aiming to make it easier for developers to build and deploy smart contracts across both networks. This compatibility reduces the technical burden of cross-chain development and encourages broader adoption of the TRON platform among Ethereum-based developers. Analysts note that such efforts can foster a more integrated blockchain ecosystem and support long-term growth [1].

Developers stand to benefit from clearer rules around contract deletion and increased control over how and when contracts are removed. The proposal also allows for multiple SELFDESTRUCT calls within a single contract, improving flexibility without compromising security. These features are expected to reduce the risk of unintended contract behavior, making the TRON network more attractive for building scalable decentralized applications [1].

The upgrade reflects a broader initiative by the TRON community to enhance the platform’s security and developer experience. During the 43 developer meeting, the proposal was discussed in detail, highlighting its potential to create a more robust environment for smart contract execution. According to COINOTAG sources, the move is a significant step forward in the TRON network’s evolution and could attract more developers and users to the platform [1].
