# Regolith

> Hardfork registry entry for the Regolith network upgrade, which corrected deposit processing after Bedrock.

Regolith made minor corrections to deposit processing based on audit findings
after Bedrock. It activates at timestamp `0` on OP Mainnet and OP Sepolia —
that is, from the Bedrock migration onward — which predates the
superchain-registry's superchain-wide hardfork defaults.

## What changed

Per the [spec overview](https://specs.optimism.io/protocol/regolith/overview.html):

* Disabled the `isSystemTx` boolean; system transactions use the same gas
  accounting rules as regular deposits.
* Records actual deposit gas usage in the deposit transaction receipt and
  subtracts it from the L2 block gas pool (unused deposit gas is not refunded).
* Adds the optional `depositNonce` receipt field and uses it to correct
  transaction and receipt metadata in RPC responses.
* Commits `gas` and `depositNonce` into the consensus representation of the
  receipt so the data syncs safely between L2 nodes.
* Corrects the L1 cost function to more closely match pre-Bedrock behavior.
