After the Berlinterop test, the Ethereum mainnet gas limit has been raised to 45 million, laying the foundation for future goals of reaching 100 million gas and higher;
All mainstream execution layer clients have integrated the pre-merge history record expiration feature, significantly reducing node disk usage.
