Techub News reported by The Block that Ethereum has increased the Gas Limit cap to 45 million units at block number 22,968,004 (17 hours ago). The Gas Limit restricts the amount of computational work allowed per block on the Ethereum blockchain, determining the number of transactions and smart contracts that can be processed simultaneously. The previous Gas Limit cap was 30 million, but it was raised to 36 million in February. The last adjustment occurred in 2021 when it was doubled from 15 million to 30 million. The goal of validators is to reach a short-term target of 60 million Gas Limit per block, while the long-term goal of 150 million Gas per block may be achieved through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork via Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7935.
