Ethereum developers have launched a new measure to improve the long -term static GAS limit of the blockchain network, and believe that this change can be used to help expand Ethereum.
March 20,Eric Connor and MakerDao’s former head of the Ethereum core developers, Mariano Conti, who launched a new website called “Pump thegas”, which launched a new website called “Pump thegas” from 30 million to 40 million. They said that this will reduce Ethereum Layer.1 trading fee.
Connor said in X post on March 19: “This may lead to a decrease of 15% to 33% of Layer 1 transaction costs,” then added. “We call on individual pledges, customer teams, mining pools and community members to providehelp”.

In the past few months, the sound of the upper limit of the Ethereum GAS has become higher and higher.In January of this year, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum co -founder, suggested that the GAS limit has been raised from 30 million since August 2021 to 40 million.
Base contributor Jesse Pollak responded that his “strong support” increased the upper limit of the Ethereum GAS to 40 or 45 million.”We have network space, which will be beneficial to all parties,” he added.
The Ethereum GAS limit refers to the largest GAS amount spent in each block to execute transactions or smart contracts.GAS is the cost required for transactions or execution of smart contracts on the Internet.

The website explained that each operation has a predetermined GAS cost, and the contract has a GAS limit that cannot be exceeded during execution.This prevents malicious contracts from overloading the network due to infinite cycle or excessive resource consumption.
It said: “Improve the GAS block limit by 33% so that Layer 1 Ethereum can process 33% of transaction loads within a day.“
It also said,The data Blob introduced in the DENCUN upgrade in EIP-4844 helps greatly reduce the Layer 2 trading fee, but it cannot reduce the Layer 1 fee.It added: “The combination of increased BLOB and GAS restrictions can help expand L1 and L2 Ethereum.”
However,Not everyone in favor of this network adjustment.Venture investors and Ethereum advocate Evan Van Ness said in an article on X.“I don’t agree with*Today*Improving the main network GAS limit, because the EIP-4844 has just increased the size of the block.”

Earlier this year, Ethereum developer Marius Van der Wijden expressed concern about the proposed salary increase, arguing that this would increase the scale of the blockchain state, including account balance and smart contract data.
He said at the time that the scale was not a problem, and then said that “access and modification it would become slower and slower”, and then added that “there is no specific solution for growth.”
Other disadvantages to increase GAS limit include increasing hardware loads and potential risks of network spam and attacks.
