TechFlow, August 6 — According to an official announcement by the Ethereum Foundation, following the Berlinterop event, the Ethereum mainnet has increased its gas limit to 45 million, marking the first step toward the goal of reaching 100 million gas.
In addition, all major execution layer clients have deployed the pre-merge history expiry feature, significantly reducing node disk usage. The Ethereum Foundation has also appointed Marius van der Wijden to co-lead L1 scaling efforts alongside Ansgar Dietrichs and Tim Beiko, and is considering block-level access lists (BALs) as a key feature for the Glamsterdam upgrade.
Furthermore, the Ethereum Foundation is developing a zkEVM proof verification client that will use zero-knowledge proofs to verify block execution in the future, substantially enhancing L1 scalability.
