CoinVoice has learned that, according to The Block, the gas limit for Ethereum blockchain blocks has been raised to 45 million units, a 25% increase from 36 million in February of this year, with approximately half of the validators supporting this adjustment. It took effect at block number 22,968,004.
This change aims to enhance transaction throughput and network scalability, as part of Ethereum's scaling roadmap. Future goals include achieving a gas limit of 60 million to 150 million units, and ensuring network security and stability through proposals such as EIP-7935 and EIP-7983. [Original link]
