Ethereum devs test a 4x increase in gas limit for Fusaka hard fork

Ethereum core developers are considering a four times increase in the layer 1 gas limit as one of the key features for the next hard fork after Pectra, known as Fusaka. The devs are proposing to test a raise in Ethereum’s gas limit to 150 million by the Fusaka hard fork, according to Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9678, introduced on April 23 by Sophia Gold, a developer on the protocol support team at the Ethereum Foundation.  During the last All Core Devs Execution (ACDE) meeting, there were discussions to make the gas limit increase a “key feature” of Fusaka, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko said in an April 24 meeting summary.  “To align on client defaults and keep this as a priority, we’ve drafted an EIP source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-devs-test-4x-increase-gas-limit-next-hard-fork?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
