đĽ Ethereum's Next Big Move: 4x Gas Limit Boost?
Ethereum devs are cooking up something huge. đ
Theyâre now testing a 4x increase to the networkâs gas limit â aiming to jump from around 36M today to a crazy 150M gas by the time the next big upgrade, Fusaka, rolls out in late 2025.
â Why?
They want to scale Layer 1 and handle way more transactions â without needing any brand-new features. More gas = more space = lower fees (hopefully).
âď¸ Whatâs happening now?
Theyâve drafted a new proposal called EIP-9678 to make it official.
Developers will test hard over the next few months to catch any bugs that might pop up at those higher gas levels.
Validators still have the final say â but syncing all the Ethereum clients in advance helps avoid chaos.
đ§ Quick history check:
It was bumped to 36M in Feb 2025.
Now? Theyâre thinking 150M. Big jump!
âł Pectra is landing next month.
Fusaka is expected late 2025.
If youâre an ETH holder or dapp builder... this could be a game changer.
