Ethereum to Increase Gas Limit to 60 Million in Fusaka Upgrade
- Ethereum’s gas limit will rise to 60 million during the upcoming Fusaka upgrade.
- Testnet activations for Fusaka are set to begin in October, with a mainnet release expected shortly thereafter.
- The gas limit has increased from 36 million in February and 45 million in July, marking the third increase this year.
- The upgrade aims for a 33% boost in Layer-1 performance and a 133% increase in Layer-2 capacity.
- Currently, 17% of validators support the increase, needing at least 50% approval for activation.
The planned increase in Ethereum’s gas limit underscores ongoing efforts to enhance transaction throughput as demand rises. This adjustment is crucial for maintaining efficiency across both Layer-1 and Layer-2 systems.
With the new limit set at 60 million, Ethereum continues its trajectory of scaling improvements aimed at better network performance.(Source)
