Ethereum developers are revisiting plans to expand the network’s block gas limit, this time from 36 million to 45 million units. The proposal, already backed by approximately 50% of validators, aims to boost transaction throughput while easing congestion across the Layer-1 chain.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently reaffirmed the case for this increase, citing its potential to improve scalability and reduce fees for users.
The push is not new. Calls for a higher gas ceiling date back to May, when some developers floated a jump to 60 million units. The current ask is more modest but still impactful.
A higher gas limit means more transactions can fit into each block, allowing the network to handle greater demand.
However, it could also raise the barrier to entry for full node operators, as more computing power and storage would be required. Critics caution that if hardware requirements balloon, Ethereum’s decentralization could suffer.
Despite these concerns, th
