Ethereum Boosts Gas Limit Post-Migration

Ethereum Increases Gas Limit Without Hard Fork

• Ethereum’s gas limit increased above 31 million, previously capped at 30 million.
• Over 50% of validators approved the change, enabling the adjustment.
• The increase was implemented without a hard fork under the proof-of-stake mechanism.
• This marks the first such change since Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake.
• The average gas limit in the last 24 hours was recorded at 31.5 million units.

Ethereum successfully raised its network gas limit above 31 million after more than half of its validators signaled approval, enhancing transaction capacity without requiring a hard fork. This is the first adjustment since moving to a proof-of-stake consensus.
