Researcher proposes scaling Ethereum gas limit by 100x over 4 years

The Ethereum mainnet’s gas limit could theoretically grow 100-fold and reach 2,000 transactions per second under a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) put forward by Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist. Feist, who had the blockchain’s “danksharding” data storage solution named after him, put forward EIP-9698 on April 27, which would introduce a “deterministic gas limit growth schedule” starting at epoch 369017, or around June 1. The proposal would gradually increase the gas limit by a factor of 10 for roughly two years, or 164,250 epochs, when one final tenfold increase would occur. Ethereum clients would need to vote on the proposal for it to take effect, Feist said source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/dankrad-fiest-unveils-eip-to-scale-ethereum-gas-limit-100x?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
