Ethereum Gas limit will surge by four times! Can the Fusaka hard fork break the 'congestion dilemma'?
👉 This means that the transaction capacity of a single block will be significantly increased, and the cost of operations that are 'Gas guzzlers', such as complex DeFi interactions and NFT batch minting, is expected to decrease by 30%-50%.
👉 Short-term benefits: Layer 1 experience upgrade
After the Gas limit increase, the block capacity will rise from about 12,000 regular transactions to 48,000, effectively 'expanding Ethereum into a four-lane road', which particularly benefits high-frequency trading DeFi protocols (like Uniswap v4) and on-chain games.
However, aggressively increasing the Gas limit may lead to some issues:
1. If miners overly fill high Gas transactions in pursuit of block rewards, it may trigger a new round of 'Gas fee rollercoaster', potentially revisiting the congestion nightmare of the DeFi summer in 2021.
2. The increase in Gas limit raises higher demands on node computing power — it may extend full node synchronization time by 20%, exacerbating the risk of 'node centralization'.
In short, the Fusaka hard fork is a radical attempt at Layer 1 expansion for Ethereum, and its success hinges on whether it can complement Layer 2, rather than repeating the 'old path'.
