Oh look, Ethereum is getting a performance upgrade—because who doesn’t love a little more gas? 💨
As the techie gods push Ethereum’s gas limit to new heights, our fearless leaders are all about that rising capacity. But wait! Some folks are biting their nails over potential hiccups. Who could’ve seen that coming? 🙄
Ethereum Gas Limit Cranks Up to 37.3 Million 🎉
Mark your calendars! On July 20, Ethereum’s resident genius, Vitalik Buterin, graced us with the insight that the Layer 1 gas limit has inched up to a whopping 37.3 million. And guess what? Roughly half of the stakers are ready to roll the dice and bump it up to 45 million. Sounds like a party! 🥳
Almost exactly 50% of stake is voting to increase the L1 gas limit to 45m. The gas limit is already starting to increase, now at 37.3m.

What does an increased gas limit mean? It’s like opening up the floodgates for transaction traffic. More computational effort can jam its way into a single Ethereum block. 💥
But, hold the phone! Such moves come with a catch—node operators might feel as though they’ve been asked to carry the weight of the world. Cue the concerned sighs about decentralization, safety, and fees. Because we all love those surprise charges! 😅
“Is this going to be the magic fix for gas fees or just a losing game of whack-a-mole?” one brave user asked.

Release notes: #ethereum #golang

Our friend Marius Van Der Wijden dove into the details, assuring us that this shiny new setup allows users to sift through historical blockchain data like a pro. Great news for validators, researchers, and dApp developers who are always up for a good stroll down memory lane. 🕵️♂️
“Geth v.1.16.0 finally ships the PBSS based archive node, you can have a geth archive node in ca. 1.9TB (down from 20+TB). Queries against historical states (What was my balance at block X) are possible, proofs against historical states are not (yet),” wrote Wijden.
The archive node wizardry boosts Ethereum’s scalability while making it more user-friendly for those independent node operators—because sharing is caring, right? 🤝
With this shiny upgrade, we can preserve decentralization while promoting higher throughput. Not everyone is ready to pop the champagne, though.
“Are we scaling up, or just cranking the stove up and praying it doesn’t explode?” another user threw into the mix.
Buterin, ever the optimist, assured skeptics that this is indeed real scaling. There’s a team of clever folks working to fortify resilience… Kind of like putting a tourniquet on a paper cut. 😂
In the midst of this techno-chaos, Ethereum is gearing up post-Dencun upgrade while teasing us with tasty treats on the Pectra roadmap. 🍬
Gather round, folks! Increasing the gas limit seems like part of the grand design to juice up throughput without sending the network stability off a cliff. With half the stake ready to back the 45 million move, we might be on the brink of something spectacular—or a magnificent disaster. Stay tuned! 💃
