2.3 release will need to include gas cost adjustment by contract runtime team (cc. @Ekleog-NEAR ) and hopefully decentralized state sync (cc. @saketh-are )

@Ekleog-NEAR I saw you start OOO in a few days. Is gas cost adjustment something ready to be included or we need some work on this before branch cut?

[staffik]

@robin-near Just to double confirm, we are fine with including EpochSync code because near/nearcore#12057 is merged?

We are hoping that he will finish the work before he goes OOO.

There's a PR which increases storage proof size limit (and introduces protocol 72), I think it's meant for 2.3: near/nearcore#11997

[Ekleog-NEAR]

near/nearcore#12044 has all the code for reducing gas costs; it literally just finished passing CI so all that remains is review :)

[jancionear]

2.2.0 didn't include the changes to RPC, they should probably be included in 2.3.0.

These are breaking changes to the RPC, so they have to be communicated to the community.

[robin-near]

@staffik yes it's fine now.

[jancionear]

Let's make sure that the eth wallet fix from 2.2.1 (near/nearcore#12093) also makes it into 2.3
