Ethereum Foundation: transaction assertions can still let a bad trade through
- —EIP-7906 adds read-only POST_TX frames that inspect the resulting state after execution
- —A check compares the outcome to a minimum, but a permissive floor lets a bad trade through
- —EIP-7906 is a draft created Feb. 21, 2025, and depends on EIP-8141
- —A failed check reverts execution, but the gas payer is still charged
Why it matters: The mechanism could broaden user protection in DeFi, but without strict rules enforced by protocols and wallets it does not guarantee a favorable trade outcome.
