This offensive is a computational DDoS, which means that miners and nodes must expend an excessive amount of time processing certain blocks. This is caused by the EXTCODESIZE opcode, which has a relatively low gas price but necessitates nodes to access state information from disk; the attack transactions are invoking this opcode approximately 50,000 times for each block. As a result, the network is significantly slowing down, but there is NO consensus failure or memory overload. We have presently pinpointed several pathways for a more viable medium-term solution and have developers engaged in the implementation.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">It is highly advised to transition to Parity mining.
