Ethereum researcher proposes 100x gas limit increase over four years

Ethereum (ETH) researcher Dankrad Feist has proposed EIP-9698, a plan to increase Ethereum's gas limit 100 times over four years, starting in June 2025, according to The Block. Under the proposal, the gas limit would grow tenfold every two years through a set schedule, reaching 3.6 billion. This change could allow the base layer to process up to 2,000 transactions per second. Although challenges like node stress are expected, gradual growth aims to give developers time to adapt. The proposal follows a separate suggestion to raise the gas limit to 150 million by the end of this year.
