Ethereum has improved the GAS limit for the first time since the shift to equity certificate mechanism

Panews News on February 4th, according to The Block report, Ethereum has reached a consensus required to increase network GAS restrictions. 50%of the verificationrs support this change to help enhance the scalability of the network. GAS limit is the key parameter that determines the ability of network transactions. Earlier, the GAS limit was 30 million, and it has exceeded 31 million.

GAS limit adjustments require more than half of the verifications to approval before it can take effect. This adjustment has been completed yesterday. Once more than 50%of the verifications expressed their support, the block GAS limit will automatically adjust without having a hard fork. This is the first time that Ethereum has implemented such changes under the consensus mechanism of equity (POS). The last adjustment occurred in 2021, and GAS limited to double from 15 million units to 30 million units.

According to Gaslimit.pics data, the average GAS limit in the past 24 hours is 31.5 million units, and it is expected to be adjusted to up to 36 million units. Although the DENCUN upgrade and Proto-DANANK sharding technology recently increased scalability, as the demand and complexity of Ethereum decentralized applications increase, it is necessary to increase GAS limit.
