EIP160 - EXP cost increase
# Hard fork
# Parameters
FORK_BLKNUM: 2,675,000CHAIN_ID: 1
# Specification
If block.number >= FORK_BLKNUM, increase the gas cost of EXP from 10 + 10 per byte in the exponent to 10 + 50 per byte in the exponent.
# Rationale
Benchmarks suggest that EXP is currently underpriced by a factor of about 4–8.
