🚀 $ETH Scales Up: Gas Limit Hits 45M! 🚀
$ETH just boosted its block gas limit to 45 million units—a 25% jump from 36M! 🧱 Activated at block 22,968,004 with ~50% validator support, this move ramps up transaction capacity without a hard fork. 💻
Why it matters:
• More gas = more transactions & smart contracts per block 📈
• Part of Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, aiming for 60M short-term and 150M long-term via EIP-7935 (Fusaka hard fork) 🌐
• EIP-7983 caps individual tx at 16.77M gas to prevent DoS attacks 🔒
The network’s last gas limit hike was from 30M to 36M in Feb 2025, after doubling from 15M in 2021. Ethereum’s scaling game is on! 💪
