Ethereum was offered to increase the gas limit 100 times

Ethereum researcher Dancraft Fyist has published an EIP-9698 proposal, which provides a 100-fold increase in gas limit on the network.

According to the initiative, Ethereum validators They will be able to vote for a gradual increase in this indicator on an exponential scale. It is proposed to introduce a “deterministic schedule”, which provides 10 times growth every two years (164 250 epochs), starting in June.

In the case of EIP according to the file scheme, the gas limit will increase from the current 36 million to 3.6 billion over four years. It can also significantly increase the basic capacity of the network.

According to the developer Fabris Chang, such changes will theoretically allow Ethereum to reach the speed of processing up to 2000 transactions per second.

How Serious is Ethereum about scaling L1?

Answer: Expontally Increase Gas Limit 100x Over 4 Years by @dankrad

How: Clients Sets Default and Automatical Raise The Gas Limit Every Epoch (Users Can Still Override).

100x Means:
– 3.6b gas limit
~ 2000 TPS
– 6000 TX per Block https://t.co/3wjb5ekkkk

The Fix has recognized potential difficulties, including increased load on less optimized units and increasing the distribution time of blocks. At the same time, he believes that the gradual implementation of changes will give the developers time to adapt and optimize the clients of the network.

Recall that on April 24, the Ethereum team discussed the possibility of more than a four -fold increase in gas limit as one of the key functions of the future Hardor Fusaka.

The PECTRA Upgrade is scheduled for May 7, while Fusaka activation is previously expected at the end of 2025.
