The concern is that before 7002 becomes active, it would be possible to join the queue without
excess
growing. This means the queue could be filled extremely cheaply.To avoid this, we set the value of
excess
to an extremely high value so that no user could ever pay a fee to enter the queue. This avoids additionalsloads
during normal operations.We chose
1181
as the value ofexcess
because i) it a prime and ii)fake_exponential(1, 1181, 17) = 1481455745989958413761130954915 wei
which is more than 1 trillion eth. That's more eth than will (hopefully) ever exist.Each system call will check
excess == 1181
and use0
in it's place if so. This of course will only be true for the first call following activation of Prague.
