+
+## Abstract
+
+Activate six EIPs from Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade ([EIP-7773]):
+[EIP-7708], [EIP-7843], [EIP-7981], [EIP-7997], [EIP-8024] and [EIP-8246].
+
+## Specification
+
+This MIP activates the following EIPs:
+
+- [EIP-7708] — ETH transfers emit a log
+- [EIP-7843] — SLOTNUM opcode
+- [EIP-7981] — Increase Access List Cost (modified, see below)
+- [EIP-7997] — Deterministic Factory Contract
+- [EIP-8024] — Backward compatible SWAPN, DUPN, EXCHANGE
+- [EIP-8246] — Remove SELFDESTRUCT Burn
+
+[EIP-7981] is adopted with `access_list_data_cost = 40 * access_list_bytes`
+(800 gas per address and 1280 gas per storage key) rather than 64 gas per byte.
+
+All other EIPs included in Glamsterdam ([EIP-7773]) are not activated; see
+[Rationale](#rationale).
+
+### Chain Specifics
+
+[EIP-7997] has no effect on Monad Mainnet or Testnet: the deterministic factory
+contract has already been deployed on those networks via the usual keyless
+transaction method. Adopting the EIP therefore only affects local development
+networks.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Block-level access lists are incompatible with Monad's asynchronous execution
+model. Proposers do not execute blocks, and so cannot reliably populate the
+access lists. [EIP-7928] is therefore not adopted by Monad:
+
+- [EIP-7928] — Block-Level Access Lists
+
+The following EIPs deal with the Ethereum consensus layer and are therefore not adopted by Monad:
+
+- [EIP-8045] — Exclude slashed validators from proposing
+- [EIP-8061] — Increase exit and consolidation churn
+- [EIP-8282] — Builder Execution Requests
+- [EIP-7688] — Forward compatible consensus data structures
+- [EIP-7732] — Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation
+
+The following EIPs establish a new two-dimensional gas model for Ethereum. Monad
+may make different choices regarding gas metering in the future, and so at this
+time the protocol will not adopt the Ethereum changes in these EIPs:
+
+- [EIP-2780] — Resource-based intrinsic transaction gas
+- [EIP-7778] — Block Gas Accounting without Refunds
+- [EIP-7976] — Increase Calldata Floor Cost
+- [EIP-8037] — State Creation Gas Cost Increase
+- [EIP-8038] — State-access gas cost update
+
+Since [EIP-7976] is not adopted, the access list data cost in [EIP-7981] is set
+to match Monad's existing calldata floor cost of 40 gas per byte, rather than the
+increased Ethereum floor of 64.
+
+On Monad, the maximum contract size is already 128KB. The increase in [EIP-7954]
+is therefore not adopted:
+
+- [EIP-7954] — Increase Maximum Contract Size
+
+The networking EIPs in [EIP-7773] concern Ethereum's devp2p protocols, which
+Monad does not use, and its informational EIPs specify no protocol changes;
+neither group is adopted.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+No backwards compatibility issues beyond those in the original EIP specifications.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+No security considerations beyond those in the original EIP specifications.
