Developers launch plans to tighten gas limits

As part of a strategic effort to reduce Ethereum’s transaction fees, its core developers have come up with a plan to increase the network’s gas limit, with the goal of significantly reducing user costs. The plan, outlined under the banner of ‘pumping the gas’, aims to improve the performance and economics of blockchain.

A leap toward improved efficiency

On March 20, Eric Connor, a pivotal figure among Ethereum developers, together with Mariano Conti, former head of smart contracts at MakerDAO, introduced an attractive platform that advocates increasing Ethereum’s gas limit from 30 million to 40 million. They claim that these adjustments could reduce layer 1 transaction fees from 15% to 33%, which could significantly ease the financial burden on Ethereum’s broad user base.

Gain momentum and support

The initiative quickly gained momentum as the #pumpthegas hashtag gathered support from the broader Ethereum community, including users, stakers, and DeFi enthusiasts. Notably, Rocket Pool’s validators showed their support by proposing a block that met the 40 million gas limit target on March 20th. The proposal echoes sentiments shared by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who expressed support in early January. This increase has led to a continued push for scalability and efficiency within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Understand Gas Limits

The concept of ‘gas limit’ in Ethereum refers to the gas limit that can be used to execute a transaction or smart contract within a single block. In this context, gas is a unit of measure for the computational effort required to perform an operation on a network. By increasing the gas limit, Ethereum aims to accommodate more transactions per block, improving throughput and reducing congestion and fees.

Dual Strategy for Scalability

The initiative’s website explains the rationale for the proposed increase more clearly, stating that it will allow Ethereum to handle up to 33% more transaction volume each day. It also highlights the role of data blobs, introduced in the recent Dencun upgrade with EIP-4844, to lower Layer 2 transaction fees, increase gas limits, and demonstrate that a combined approach leveraging blobs will synergistically scale both Layer 1 and Layer 1. It suggests that it is possible. -2 Ethereum.

voice of caution

Despite the enthusiastic support, the proposal was met with skepticism from certain parts of the Ethereum community. Concerns have been raised that the increase in blockchain state size could slow down data access and modification and create problems with the efficiency and security of the network. Critics also warn of an increased risk of network spam and attacks, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to network upgrades.

Since 4844 increased the block size, I am not in favor of raising the mainnet gas limit *today*.

However, we see attacks on two Ethereum heroes. @nanexcool and @econoar

That’s not good. You can disagree without saying anything personally https://t.co/6J0bOik3Sb
