The Ethereum community has recently focused on a hot topic: increasing the Gas limit. The idea of raising the Gas limit seems reasonable, as it meets the demand of users for higher transaction throughput and reflects the natural growth trend of network capacity over time. Many researchers and community members strongly support this, believing that Ethereum is well prepared for this change and see it as a timely move to directly enhance Ethereum’s scalability.

The proposal has also attracted widespread attention within the community, with community-created websites such as pumpthegas.org aiming to popularize the basic knowledge of Gas limit increase, as well as how validators can change their node settings. Another website, Gaslimit.pics, actively tracks the progress of validators’ support for a higher Gas limit - data shows that as of December 21, 2024, 25% of Ethereum validators have adjusted their client configurations to show support. Once more than 50% of validators agree to increase the Gas limit and modify their client configurations, the Gas limit of Ethereum will begin to rise and eventually stabilize at the new target value.

It is worth noting that the proposal is different from the Ethereum-centric roadmap with rollup as the center, i.e., different from recent scalability improvements (such as EIP-4844 and EIP-).
