[Constitutional] AIP: ArbOS 60 Elara
AI summary
This proposal, AIP: ArbOS 60 Elara, seeks to upgrade the Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova networks. The upgrade introduces a new gas pricing algorithm called Dynamic Pricing, which aims to improve how transaction fees are calculated by considering multiple factors, similar to "Multidimensional Gas Pricing" discussed by Vitalik Buterin. It also increases the smart contract code size limit for Stylus contracts to 96 KB, four times larger than Solidity contracts. Additionally, it allows Offchain Labs, acting for the Arbitrum DAO, to adjust the minimum L2 base fee on Arbitrum One and Nova within a range of 0.01 gwei to 0.10 gwei.
If passed, Arbitrum One and Nova will have more efficient and stable gas fees, potentially benefiting users with more predictable transaction costs. Developers using Stylus will gain more flexibility due to the increased contract size limit. Offchain Labs will gain the ability to adjust the minimum base fee within a defined range, which could impact transaction costs for all users on these networks. The proposal also includes features for other Arbitrum chains, such as Alternative Data Availability (AltDA) integration and optional transaction restrictions, but these will not be enabled on Arbitrum One or Nova.

Abstract
Type: Constitutional AIP
This AIP proposes to upgrade Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova to ArbOS 60 Elara. This upgrade includes several innovative Arbitrum features and changes - all of which represent the culmination of months of research and engineering from the Offchain Labs team and is in response to invaluable feedback from the Arbitrum ecosystem of partners, developers, and users. At a high level, the changes being introduced in ArbOS 60 Elara are as follows:
- A new gas pricing algorithm, called Dynamic Pricing, to track and charge gas prices …
