Fork to EIP7594

Fork trigger

EIP7594 does not need a hard fork. We only add this fork doc for compiling this new feature in pyspec.

For now, we assume the condition will be triggered at epoch EIP7594_FORK_EPOCH.

Note that for the pure EIP7594 networks, we don't apply upgrade_to_eip7594 since it starts with EIP7594 version logic.

Upgrading the state

If state.slot % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0 and compute_epoch_at_slot(state.slot) == EIP7594_FORK_EPOCH, an irregular state change is made to upgrade to EIP7594.
