On December 18, Ethereum core developer meetings revealed plans to increase the network gas limit from 60 million to 80 million after the BPO hard fork on January 7, further boosting transaction throughput and reducing fees.
Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, stated that Nethermind representatives believe developers are ready to push for this upgrade. However, Ethereum Foundation engineer Busa pointed out that client optimizations for the execution layer’s blob response and the maximum blob flag in the consensus layer need to be completed first.
Raising the gas limit can increase the number of transactions and smart contract operations processed per block. While it cannot match the speed of L1 chains like Solana, it can strengthen Ethereum’s appeal as a secure settlement layer while maintaining decentralization advantages.
This year, Ethereum has increased the gas limit three times, with the developer community aiming to reach 180 million by the end of 2026.
