🤯 Ethereum Shockwave! Vitalik predicts a massive upgrade in 2026: Gas limit skyrockets by 5 times! But the 'lazy tax' also rises by 5 times?! 💸📈
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is really going big this time! He posted on the X platform yesterday (26th), highlighting the key points for Ethereum's expansion in 2026: the Gas limit could potentially increase by 5 times!
But this time it’s not a 'universal average giveaway' where everyone wins! Vitalik proposed an ultra-precise 'carrot and stick' strategy:
🥕 Big Carrot: Dramatic increase in throughput! Gas limit surges by 500%
• What is the Gas limit? Simply put, it is the limit of how many transactions can fit into an Ethereum block. It is currently at 60M, which means it can handle double the transactions by 2024!
• What are the benefits of increasing by 5 times? It will directly boost Layer 1 throughput like a rocket🚀, making the Gas price for regular transactions cheaper! Whether it's DeFi transfers, issuing NFTs, or playing on-chain games, everything will run smoother, and it will provide ultra-cheap data availability (DA) space for Layer 2 Rollups!
🪓 Big Stick: Hitting inefficiency hard! Specially targeting 'lazy coding'⚡
Vitalik also emphasized that to avoid the network being clogged by 'inefficient code', he will simultaneously impose a 5 times heavy tax on those resource-consuming 'lazy operations' (Gas costs will increase by 5 times)! This is the super-smart 'increase the limit while raising the lazy tax' economics! It essentially pressures developers:
'You can use block space, but please write the most resource-efficient and highest efficiency code!'
