Ethereum researcher proposes 100x gas limit hike for network boost

Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9698, aiming to increase the network’s gas limit by 100 times over four years to enhance transaction capacity. This shift would transition from the current miner/operator voting model to a predictable exponential growth pattern, potentially allowing around 3.6 billion gas, facilitating 2,000 transactions per second. While some in the community support the change, developers like Lukasz Rozmej and Jochem Brouwer expressed concerns about the speed of this increase, advocating for a more gradual approach to prevent potential network strain.
