最新报道：According to the news on July 21, nearly half of the validators who staked Ethereum supported "raising the gas limit". Under this impetus, the gas limit of each block of Ethereum has begun to increase, which will increase the transaction throughput of Layer 1 blockchain. On Sunday afternoon, multiple blocks proposed to set the gas limit to more than 39 million units, an increase of 8% from the previous 36 million. This is also the first time that the upper limit has been raised from 30 million in three years. The representatives of the "Raise Gas Limit" action believe that raising the upper limit too much will make the chain too large and increase the difficulty of verification and downloading for individual node operators. However, with the advancement of technology, it is reasonable to increase it gradually. Once the validator expresses the desire to increase the block upper limit, the upper limit will automatically rise, and each block can adjust the upper limit to about 0.1% of the total amount of the previous block. According to gaslimit.pics, about 48% of the clients running the staked Ethereum currently set the gas upper limit target to 45 million units or higher. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin mentioned this move in the X post, pointing out that “nearly 50% of the staked shares voted in favor of increasing the gas limit of Layer 1 to 45 million.” At the same time, he also praised Geth’s recent version update for reducing the storage capacity of the pruning archive node by about 90%, saying that this was “the recent hard work of the Geth team to make such expansion increases safe and feasible.”
