Description
Cherry-picks commit ethereum/go-ethereum@684b935, which is included in
gethv1.16.4. This changes the library used for bn254 curve operations fromcloudflaretognarkand greatly improves the execution performance of theECPAIRINGopcode, leading to >50% increased execution throughput on World Chain Mainnet.Tests
All tests were unchanged and pass. I've additionally been running this fork for multiple World Chain Mainnet node configurations (path-based full, path-based archive, hash-based archive) and all have worked with no issues.
Additional context
While this change will be included when
op-gethmergesgethv1.16.4, this allows the performance benefits of this change to be applied much sooner. Because this is the exact change used ingeth, it won't cause any issues merging v1.16.4 later on.
