Consensys and MetaMask, as well as over 40% of Ethereum validators, support increasing the gas limit.
Consensys, a blockchain technology and infrastructure company, published a paper stating: “To achieve our goal of making Ethereum the most comprehensive decentralized computing platform in the world, we need to expand the base layer while advancing the L2 roadmap.”
Consensys and MetaMask validators, as well as over 40% of Ethereum validators, support increasing the gas limit. This means that each block will be able to include more or more complex transactions, which in the short term will reduce gas costs and transaction confirmation delays, and in the long term will allow developers to build more complex applications.
