So, the Ethereum core crew (read: the blockchain wizards) are flirting with the idea of cranking the gas limit up by, wait for it… four times.
Yep, post-Pectra—which sounds like a transformer but isn’t—the next hard fork’s got a funky name: Fusaka. And it’s got some gas dreams. Sophia Gold, a big brain on the Ethereum Foundation team, popped in an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP 9678) on April 23. Spoiler: She’s suggesting pushing the gas limit to a jaw-dropping 150 million. Whew.
At the latest All Core Devs Execution meeting (which sounds like a crime drama but is just a blockchain pow-wow), Tim Beiko—who is not just a real person but also a core dev—said the gas limit hike might be the “key feature” of this Fusaka thing. That’s dev speak for “hold onto your hats.”
He added, “We’ve drafted an EIP. It’s basically the slightly rebellious, kinda mysterious cousin of EIP-7840. We plan to merge it early next week and throw it into the next ACDE like confetti.”
But wait, there’s more! As they poked around, they realized upping the gas limit might need a few extra protocol tweaks, meaning even more EIPs sneaking into Fusaka’s shopping list—because why not? Scope? What scope?
In case you forgot, the Pectra upgrade is coming in May (mark those calendars), but Fusaka might not hit the mainnet party until late 2025. So, plenty of time to practice saying “Fusaka” like a blockchain cult leader.
Why the gas limit glow-up matters (or at least, why devs think so)
The big idea is to let Ethereum handle more action on layer 1. Scaling up so transactions can zip by without waiting in line at the blockchain’s equivalent of a dodgy coffee shop.
But here’s the rub: pushing gas limits higher is like asking your vintage car to run a Formula 1 race—bugs are gonna show up. So, the execution layer devs need to put on their bug-squashing hats, because this ain’t a casual weekend hobby.
Tim says, “Validators have the final say on gas limits, but coordinating client defaults through an EIP means we don’t accidentally turn the network into blockchain chaos once Fusaka hits.” Basically, teamwork makes the dream work.
For some context, back in August 2021, the average Ethereum gas limit was about 30 million. As of now, it’s flirting with 36 million. So, jumping to 150 million isn’t just a climb—it’s a rocket launch.
