See how EIP-7928 transforms transaction processing
Execute multiple transactions simultaneously by knowing state dependencies upfront
Track state changes (incl. ETH balances) without executing transactions
Reconstruct state without executing transactions using post-execution values
Mandatory access lists ensure complete and accurate state dependency information
Every block includes a complete record of all state interactions:
