Ethereum Block Gas Limit Raised to 45 Million, Significantly Boosting Transaction Throughput and Scalability

According to ChainCatcher, citing The Block, the Ethereum blockchain’s block gas limit has been raised to 45 million units, a 25% increase from 36 million in February this year. Approximately half of the validators supported this adjustment, which took effect at block number 22,968,004.

This change aims to improve transaction throughput and network scalability, and is part of Ethereum’s scaling roadmap. Future targets include reaching 60 million to 150 million gas units, with proposals such as EIP-7935 and EIP-7983 designed to ensure network security and stability.
