## Enhancing Ethereum Security: Vitalik Proposes Gas Limit Restriction Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and developer Toni Wahrstätter have proposed EIP-7983, a significant change to the Ethereum network. This proposal focuses on limiting the gas limit per individual transaction to 16.77 million. Currently, the Ethereum network operates with a block gas limit around 36 million, lacking a specific transaction gas limit. EIP-7983 aims to bolster the network's resilience against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. By implementing this limit, the network seeks to improve stability and create more predictable transaction processing costs. This new gas limit will function independently from the existing block gas limit. Any transaction exceeding the 16.77 million gas limit will be rejected, preventing potentially disruptive and costly operations. This proactive measure is expected to contribute significantly to the overall security and efficiency of the Ethereum blockchain. ```
