This week, the Ethereum community meeting mentioned a new proposal, EIP-8053, which is being discussed as one of the candidate options for the Glamsterdam upgrade. This proposal suggests reducing the smallest unit of gas used for internal calculations in the EVM by three orders of magnitude, calling it milli-gas, which is 1/1000 of a gas.
Why do this? Because the current gas precision isn't enough to reflect the actual computational cost. For example, what if the exact cost of an opcode is 3.5 gas? With the current system, it can only be rounded up or down.
When these situations accumulate over time, they can lead to systemic errors. So, this proposal recommends using milli-gas for internal EVM calculations and rounding back up to whole gas units after the transaction is completed.
