+After compiling your smart contract, you can deploy it to the Hedera network. The deployment payload, or "*init code*", contains the constructor logic together with the contract's runtime bytecode. When deploying, the EVM is expected to be supplied with both the smart contract [bytecode](/support/glossary#bytecode) and the gas required to execute and deploy the contract. The constructor runs once during deployment and returns the `runtime_bytecode`, which is what's stored on-chain for future contract interactions.

They can submit `ContractCreate`, `EthereumTransaction`, or make `eth_sendRawTransaction` RPC calls with the contract bytecode directly. These various paths allow developers to deploy and manage smart contracts efficiently.

## Hyperledger Besu EVM on Hedera
The Hedera network nodes utilize the [HyperLedger Besu EVM ](/support/glossary#hyperledger-besu-evm)Client written in Java as an execution layer for Ethereum-type transactions. The codebase is up to date with the current Ethereum Mainnet hard forks. The Besu EVM client library is used without hooks for Ethereum's consensus, networking, and storage features. Instead, Hedera hooks into its own Hashgraph consensus, Gossip communication, and [Virtual Merkle Trees](/support/glossary#virtual-merkle-tree) components for greater fault tolerance, finality, and scalability.
-As of the Hedera Mainnet release [`0.50.0`](/networks/release-notes/services#v0.50), the Besu EVM client is configured to support the Cancun hard fork of the Ethereum Mainnet, with some modifications.
+The Besu EVM client is configured to support the **Pectra hard fork** of the Ethereum Mainnet (activated on Ethereum May 7, 2025), with some modifications. Pectra was introduced on Hedera under [HIP-1341](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-1341) (Support for Ethereum Pectra Release).
+
+
+**EIP-7702 is deactivated.** Hedera runs the Prague EVM, but EIP-7702 (set EOA account code), and therefore EOA Code Delegation, is currently disabled. Type 4 (set-code) transactions are not accepted and no account delegation takes execution effect. The other applicable Pectra EIPs (EIP-2537 and EIP-7623, below) are active.
+
+
+### **Pectra Hard Fork**
+
+The smart contract platform has been upgraded to support the visible EVM changes introduced in the [Pectra](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7600) hard fork (Prague execution layer plus Electra consensus layer). The applicable EIPs adopted on Hedera are:
+
+| EIP | Title | Summary |
+| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| [EIP-2537](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2537) | BLS12-381 curve precompiles | Adds precompiles at addresses `0x0b` to `0x11` for efficient BLS signature and pairing operations. |
+| [EIP-7623](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7623) | Increase calldata cost (floor) | Introduces a calldata gas floor: `21000 + 10 × (zero_bytes + 4 × non_zero_bytes)`. |
+
+[EIP-7702](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7702) (Set EOA account code) is part of Pectra but is **currently deactivated on Hedera**: Type 4 transactions are not accepted and no EOA code delegation takes effect. Support is tracked for a future release under [HIP-1340](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-1340).
+
+The following Pectra EIPs are **not applicable** to Hedera and are not adopted: EIP-7691, EIP-7840 (blob-related, Hedera does not support blobs); EIP-6110, EIP-7002, EIP-7251, EIP-7685 (Ethereum validator features, no Hedera equivalent); EIP-2935, EIP-7549 (Ethereum consensus-layer features); EIP-7642 (informational). Per [HIP-1341](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-1341).
+
+As of the Consensus Node [0.22](/networks/release-notes/services#v0.22) release ([HIP-185](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-185)), gas and input data costs are charged. The amount of intrinsic gas consumed is a constant charge that occurs before any code executes. _The intrinsic gas cost is `21,000`_. The associated cost of input data is 16 gas for each byte of data that is not zero and 4 gas for each byte of data that is zero. Under Pectra (EIP-7623), an additional floor of `21000 + 10 × (zero + 4 × non_zero)` applies to calldata-heavy transactions. The amount of intrinsic gas consumed is charged in relation to the data supplied when making a contract call to the function parameters of external contracts. The gas schedule and the fees table can be found in the gas section of this documentation page.

+
+Type 3 (blob transactions per EIP-4844) is **not supported** on Hedera (see [HIP-866](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-866)). Type 4 ([EIP-7702](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7702)) is also **not accepted**: EOA Code Delegation is currently deactivated. For the full type list, access-list usage, and SDK examples, see [Ethereum transaction](/native/smart-contracts/ethereum-transaction#supported-ethereum-transaction-types).
-#### Proto-Danksharding
+#### Blobs supported on Hedera?
-As an interim solution to full sharding, introduced in the Cancun hard fork, the proto-danksharding offers some of the advantages of sharding with reduced complexity and infrastructure changes that are part of a sharding implementation. This, in turn, opens the gates for adding "blobs" of data to append to blocks to increase data availability further and allow more processing efficiency.
+Hedera does not provide blobs under [EIP-4844](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4844) (Cancun), nor under the Pectra blob-throughput EIPs ([EIP-7691](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7691), [EIP-7840](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7840)). [HIP-866](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-866) defines how Hedera behaves without blob support. To preserve compatibility and future design space, Hedera acts as if blobs are not being added. This allows existing contracts that depend on blob behavior to function without blobs. Blobs are prevented from entering the system by prohibiting "Type 3" transactions, which enable blobs. This keeps blobs out of the EVM's concern without affecting other desirable interactions on Hedera. With jumbo `EthereumTransaction` support ([HIP-1086](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-1086)) on Hedera, large `callData` payloads are the preferred path for rollup-style data.
-Blobs are big data objects within blocks. These can be utilized to store rollups (Layer 2 solutions) and different kinds of apps requiring big data objects to be stored in an efficient way. This is data off-chain for the validators and requires minimal processing on their part. It reduces the computational load on the network and hence reduces the transaction gas fee.
+### **Past Hard Forks**

+Hedera tracks Ethereum mainnet hard forks and adopts the EIPs that apply to the Smart Contract Service. The table below summarizes recent forks and the practical differences between them on Hedera.

+#### What changed from Cancun to Pectra?
+
+If you previously targeted Cancun, the practical differences on Hedera are:

block.number | | The index of the record file (not recommended, use block.timestamp). |
block.timestamp | | The transaction consensus timestamp. |
block.difficulty | | Always zero. |
block.gaslimit | GASLIMIT | The GASLIMIT operation will return the gasLimit of the transaction. The transaction gasLimit will be the lowest of the gas limit requested in the transaction or a global upper gas limit configured for all smart contracts. |
msg.sender | | The address of the Hedera contract ID or account ID in Solidity format that called this contract. For the root level or for delegate chains that go to the root, it is the account ID paying for the transaction. |
msg.value | | The value associated to the transaction associated in tinybar. |
tx.origin | | The account ID paying for the transaction, regardless of depth. |
tx.gasprice | | Fixed (varies with the global fee schedule and exchange rate). |

<address>.code | | Precompile contract addresses will report no code, including HTS System contract. |
<address>.codehash | | Precompile contract addresses will report the empty code hash. |
| PRNGSEED | This opcode returns a random number based on the n-3 record running hash. |
delegateCall | | Contracts may no longer use delegateCall() to invoke system contracts. Contracts should instead use the call() method. |

+With the **Pectra** hard fork, [EIP-7623](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7623) adds a floor so that transactions carrying a large amount of calldata pay at least a minimum, regardless of how little computation they perform. First define the calldata tokens:

+- **10** (`TOTAL_COST_FLOOR_PER_TOKEN`): the floor cost per calldata token
+
+When a transaction is calldata-heavy relative to its execution, the floor applies and it costs more than under Cancun. The JSON-RPC Relay computes intrinsic gas as well, so its gas estimates reflect the floor.

+
+Type 3 (blob) transactions are rejected because Hedera does not implement blobs ([HIP-866](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-866)). Type 4 (set-code) transactions are part of Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, but **EIP-7702 is deactivated on Hedera**, so type 4 transactions are rejected and EOA code delegation is not available. Support is tracked for a future release under [HIP-1340](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-1340). For type 2 (EIP-1559), the priority fee (`max_priority_fee_per_gas`) is ignored on Hedera because network fees are fixed by the fee schedule rather than a priority market.
+
+### Access lists (EIP-2930)
+
+A type 1 (and type 2) transaction can carry an `accessList`: a list of addresses and storage keys the transaction expects to touch. Pre-declaring these accesses marks them "warm," lowering the gas cost of the first access to each. An access list is encoded as an array of `{ address, storageKeys }` entries:
+
+```json
+[
+ {
+ "address": "0xa02457e5dfd32bda5fc7e1f1b008aa5979568150",

+ ]
+ }
+]
+```
+
+You can submit an access-list transaction either through the JSON-RPC Relay (`eth_sendRawTransaction`) or directly to HAPI via `EthereumTransaction`, where the access list is part of the RLP-encoded `ethereumData`.
+
+
+Access lists are supported as part of Hedera's [Pectra](/evm/development/deploying#pectra-hard-fork) hard fork.
