Opcode Pricing

EVM opcodes

Area	Guidance
Standard opcodes	Use normal Ethereum tooling and gas estimates; no c8ntinuum-specific opcode repricing is documented here.
Contract size	c8ntinuum’s maximum contract size is configurable. See Differences from Ethereum.
Gas estimation	Use `eth_estimateGas` and test the final transaction path before submitting.
Pre-deployed contracts	Execute as ordinary EVM bytecode with ordinary EVM gas accounting; see Pre-deployed Contracts.

Precompile costs

c8ntinuum adds native precompile surfaces beyond the standard Ethereum set. Source-backed formulas are summarized in Precompile ABI Reference.

Precompile class	Current documented pricing
Stateful Cosmos module transactions	`2000 + 30 * input bytes`, then SDK execution is metered inside the call
Stateful Cosmos module queries	`1000 + 3 * input bytes`, then SDK execution is metered inside the call
SP1 Groth16 `verifyProof`	`300000 + ceil((publicValuesBytes + proofBytes) / 32) * 16`
SP1 Plonk `verifyProof`	`800000 + ceil((publicValuesBytes + proofBytes) / 32) * 16`
Variable-length stateless precompiles	`base gas + ceil(input bytes / 32) * word gas`; use the relevant ABI/source entry for constants
P256	Raw-call precompile; validate packed input shape in caller code
