🚨 *BREAKING: Ethereum’s “Gigagas Era” is coming!*
Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a bold new vision — *Ethereum targeting 10,000 TPS (transactions per second)* in its upcoming *“Gigagas Era.”*
Here’s what it means and why it’s a big deal 👇
⚙️ *What is the “Gigagas Era”?*
The name refers to Ethereum dramatically increasing the amount of *“gas”* (computational power) available per block. This allows *more transactions and complex smart contracts to fit* into every block, scaling Ethereum massively.
🚀 *Goal: 10,000 TPS*
Ethereum today can handle around 15–30 TPS on the base layer. With rollups (like Arbitrum, Optimism) it can scale more — but this new phase aims to *unlock native high throughput* *without* relying solely on L2s.
🧠 *How it works:*
- *Danksharding* and *data availability sampling* will make it easier for Ethereum to handle more data.
- Clients will become more efficient.
- *EIP upgrades* will increase block capacity safely.
🔥 *Why it matters:*
- *Lower gas fees* 💸
- *Faster dApps, DeFi, NFTs, games* 🎮
- *Ethereum becomes globally scalable* 🌍
- Keeps ETH competitive vs Solana, TON, etc.
📊 *Prediction & Outlook:*
If successful, this could *position Ethereum as the true “world computer”*. Expect renewed developer interest, L2 synergy, and ETH price strength as fundamentals improve.
👀 Keep eyes on the next Ethereum upgrades — they’ll be *key* to this vision becoming reality.
