Odaily News Regarding the community's discussion on “Ethereum still setting a limit on contract size,” Vitalik Buterin responded that this is due to DoS risk considerations. He stated that after the Ethereum state structure is upgraded to a unified binary tree (EIP-7864), it is expected that contract size will be unlimited, but the Gas costs and mechanism design for deploying extremely large contracts still need to be addressed. Currently, based on the cost of creating per byte, the actual contract limit is approximately 82KB.
