Ethereum Enhances Network Capacity by Raising Gas Limit
Main Idea
Ethereum has increased its gas limit to 37.3 million to enhance network capacity and efficiency, with technical updates improving client performance and scalability.
Key Points
1. The Ethereum network's gas limit rose to 37.3 million as of July 20, 2025, increasing transaction capacity per block.
2. Vitalik Buterin noted that about 50% of blocks propose a 0.1% gas limit increase, contributing to gradual network expansion.
3. Ethereum client updates, such as Geth v1.16.0, have improved performance, reducing storage requirements from 20TB to 1.9TB.
4. The gas limit increase aims to enhance network efficiency but raises concerns among some node operators about decentralization risks.
5. Developer Marius Van Der Wijden highlighted that Geth v1.16.0 supports higher transaction volumes, marking progress in Ethereum's scalability.
Description
Ethereum's gas limit increased to 37.3 million, supporting enhanced network capacity. Challenges include sustainability issues for small node operators and decentralization concerns.
