An Ethereum Foundation researcher has proposed to increase the Ethereum gas limit by 100 times over the next 4 years.

PANews, April 28th news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist proposed EIP-9698 on April 27th, planning to introduce a "deterministic gas limit rise plan" starting from epoch 369017 (around June 1st). This is a four-year plan, which suggests that in the first two years (i.e., 164,250 epochs), the limit will gradually increase by a factor of ten, followed by one final tenfold adjustment. Theoretically, if the gas limit increases by 100 times, Ethereum's TPS is expected to rise to 2000 transactions. The proposal must be approved by client votes to be implemented. This expansion attempt is another important advancement following the increase of the gas limit from 30 million to 36 million in February. Feist pointed out that the gradual increase plan allows node operators enough time for optimization. Meanwhile, developers are testing the EIP-9678 proposal, which plans to achieve a fourfold increase in the gas limit in the Fusaka upgrade at the end of 2025.
