Ethereum Boosts Its Gas Limit to Enhance Network Efficiency
Main Idea
Ethereum has increased its gas limit by 25% to 45 million units to enhance network efficiency and scalability, with technical safeguards in place to mitigate risks.
Key Points
1. Ethereum's gas limit was raised from 36 million to 45 million, a 25% increase, implemented in block number 22,968,004 with nearly half of the network validators approving the change.
2. The adjustment does not require a hard fork; validators propose blocks to adjust node configurations.
3. The gas limit has been progressively increased from 15 million in 2021 to 36 million in February 2025, and now to 45 million.
4. A larger block capacity allows for more simultaneous transactions and smart contract executions, improving scalability.
5. Developers introduced protective measures like EIP-7983 to limit denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and ensure network security.
Description
Ethereum raised its gas limit to 45 million, enhancing network scalability. Validators can adjust limits without hard forks once over 50% support is reached.
