+### 1.0.1 - Storage Related Compute Costs
+
+Add five compute cost values for protocol version 61 and above.
+
+- wasm_touching_trie_node
+- wasm_storage_write_base
+- wasm_storage_remove_base
+- wasm_storage_read_base
+- wasm_storage_has_key_base
+
+For the exact values, please refer to the table at the bottom.
+
+The intention behind these increased compute costs is to address the issue of
+storage accesses taking longer than the allocated gas costs, particularly in
+cases where RocksDB, the underlying storage system, is too slow. These values
+have been chosen to ensure that validators with recommended hardware can meet
+the required timing constraints.
+([Analysis Report](https://github.com/near/nearcore/issues/8006))
+
+The protocol team at Pagoda is actively working on optimizing the nearcore
+client storage implementation. This should eventually allow to lower the compute
+costs parameters again.
+
+Progress on this work is tracked here: https://github.com/near/nearcore/issues/8938.

 #### Benefits
 
 - Among the alternatives, this is the easiest to implement.
