Point Evaluation Precompile

This precompile is introduced in EIP-4844 and is used to verify KZG commitments of blobs. The precompile allows for efficient verification of commitments to blob transactions. Blob transactions contain a large amount of data that cannot be accessed by EVM execution, but has a commitment that can be accessed and verified. The EIP is designed to be forward compatible with Danksharding architecture while giving L2s access to cheaper L1 commitments. This precompiled contract resides at the hardcoded Ethereum address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000A.

A useful resource is the Python reference implementation for the precompile, which can be found here. The implementation in REVM uses c-kzg-4844, via its foreign function interface bindings, from the Ethereum Foundation.
