-# Ethereum Environment Interface (EEI) Specification (*Revision 1*)
+# Ethereum Environment Interface (EEI) Specification (*Revision 2*)
 
 The Ethereum Environment Interface exposes the core Ethereum API to the eWASM environment. The Ethereum [module](https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Modules.md) will be implemented in the Ethereum client's native language. All parameters and returns are restricted to 32 or 64 bit integers. Floats are disallowed.
 
-## Environment
-
-The Ethereum Environment Interface exposes the following information.
-
-* gasCount - the current amount of gas used
-* gas -  The totally amount of gas that the contract instance has to use
-* gasPrice - The price in wei paid for gas
-* gasLimit - The max amount of gas that maybe expended
-* address - The contract's address
-* origin - The origin address of the message that caused this contract to run
-* coinbase - The current block's coinbase
-* difficulty - The current block's difficulty
-* caller - The address that directly messaged this contract
-* callValue - The value in wei of that the message has
-* callData - The message's data
-* code - The code of the current running contract
-* logs - All the logs that the contract emitted
-* state - Ethereum's state as stored in the state trie
-
-Further more we define the following caps on the environmental variables
-
-* `codesize` is capped to a 64 bit integer
-* `calldata` size is capped to 64 bits
-* `balances` are represented as a 128 bit little endian unsigned integer
-* `gasPrice` is represented as a 64 bit little endian unsigned integer
-* `gas`      is represented as a 64 bit little endian unsigned integer
+# Data types
+
+We define the following Ethereum data types:
+- `bytes`: an array of bytes with unrestricted length
+- `address`: a 160 bit number, represented as a 20 bytes long little endian unsigned integer in memory
+- `u128`: a 128 bit number, represented as a 16 bytes long little endian unsigned integer in memory
+- `u256`: a 256 bit number, represented as a 32 bytes long little endian unsigned integer in memory
+
+We also define the following WebAssembly data types:
+- `i32`: same as `i32` in WebAssembly
+- `i32ptr`: same as `i32` in WebAssembly, but treated as a pointer to a WebAssembly memory offset
+- `i64`: same as `i64` in WebAssembly
