Summary

The SELFDESTRUCT opcode has been deprecated after the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade and its behavior has been modified after the Ethereum Cancun upgrade. For compatibility, EIP-6049: Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT is required to be announced in the TRON community firstly.

The following compatibility issues require community attention.

• Contracts that depended on re-deploying contracts at the same address using CREATE2 (after a SELFDESTRUCT) may not function properly.

• It may be no longer possible to burn TRX by calling SELFDESTRUCT targeting the executing contract as the beneficiary.

Original content from EIP-6049:

Abstract

This EIP deprecates the SELFDESTRUCT opcode and warns against its use. A breaking change to this functionality is likely to come in the future.

Motivation

Discussions about how to change SELFDESTRUCT are ongoing. But there is a strong consensus that something will change.

Specification

Documentation of the SELFDESTRUCT opcode is updated to warn against its use and to note that a breaking change may be forthcoming.

Rationale

As time goes on, the cost of doing something increases, because any change to SELFDESTRUCT will be a breaking change.

The Ethereum Blog and other official sources have not provided any warning to developers about a potential forthcoming change.

Backwards Compatibility

This EIP updates non-normative text in the Yellow Paper. No changes to clients is applicable.

Security Considerations

None.

Would it be convenient to introduce this issue at the next tronprotocol/pm#99?

Yeah, of course.
