Odaily News Ethereum core developers are considering quadrupling the Gas limit of Layer 1 as a key feature of Fusaka, the next hard fork after Pectra. On April 23, developer Sophia Gold proposed EIP 9678, proposing to increase the Gas limit to 150 million during the Fusaka hard fork. On April 24, core developer Tim Beiko said in the meeting summary that the ACDE meeting had discussed raising the Gas limit as a "key feature" of Fusaka. Developers have drafted an EIP and plan to merge it early next week and formally propose it at the next ACDE meeting. As work progresses, changes may be required within the protocol to support a higher Gas limit, and even if the hard fork range is set, more EIPs will need to be added for Fusaka. Pectra plans to launch its mainnet in May, and Fusaka may be launched at the end of 2025. Developers said that increasing the Gas limit is intended to expand Layer 1 execution capabilities, and no new features are needed, but guidance from execution layer developers is needed to test and fix client vulnerabilities, so it is reasonable to include it in the hard fork EIP. On February 4, validators supported raising the network's Gas limit, increasing the maximum amount of Gas used for transactions in a single Ethereum block. Ycharts data shows that the current value is slightly less than 36 million. (Cointelegraph)
