Feature request: transaction types

[PaulRBerg]

It would be helpful to have a section on the main page (or a new page) about transaction types. IIRC there are three types at the moment:

• Type 0: Legacy
• Type 1: EIP-2718 with access lists
• Type 2: EIP-1559 (also with access lists)

This is an important feature request given the rise of rollups, which often implement new tx types (e.g. Arbitrum)

evm.codes could be a baseline against which to compare these new rollup tx types.

I agree that this would be super useful, I'm not sure we have a lot of capacity atm as we are working on evm.storage but if someone sees it and wants to take it on, we will compensate with a bounty.

Thanks @dorlevi !

Hi @PaulRBerg, I'm working on this issue and I'd like to know if you have any more suggestions for it since it's been a few months since you opened the issue.

[PaulRBerg]

Don't have any other concrete suggestions, unfortunately

[dorlevi]

I think this one is pretty straight forward, explanation of the different type, maybe evm.storage links to different transactions of diff types and then like different edgecases that could happen in each tx types

cc: @thevaizman @peroket if they have ideas

I would also add why this type of transaction has been created, its purpose.
