TechFlow reports that on December 19, according to Cointelegraph, the proportion of validators in the Ethereum network supporting an increase in the gas limit has risen to 10%. Ethereum core developer Eric Connor stated that raising the gas limit could reduce transaction fees by 15-33%. Currently, validators are signaling support for increasing the per-block gas limit to 36 million, a significant rise from the previous 1% level before December.
Emmanuel Awosika, Creative Director at 2077 Collective, pointed out that the current gas limit restricts the deployment of high-demand applications, and once an application becomes popular, it could trigger a surge in gas prices, negatively impacting user experience. However, Toni Wahrstätter from the Ethereum Foundation warned that excessively increasing the gas limit could harm the network's decentralization and lead to unintended issues such as storage and bandwidth constraints.
