Ethereum core developers are contemplating a significant increase in the Layer 1 gas limit, potentially quadrupling it in the Fusaka hard fork, which follows the Pectra upgrade. This proposal, outlined in EIP-9678 by Ethereum Foundation's Sophia Gold, suggests testing a gas limit of 150 million. Currently, the average Ethereum gas limit hovers around 36 million, a figure reached after adjustments in February of last year. A substantial increase could lead to higher throughput and lower transaction fees, but also raises concerns about increased node resource requirements and potential centralization risks. Ethereum developer Tim Beiko confirmed discussions around making gas limit adjustments a key feature of Fusaka. This potential change reflects ongoing efforts to improve Ethereum's scalability and efficiency. The network must carefully weigh the benefits against potential drawbacks before implementation. ```
