Dankrad Feist, a researcher from the Ethereum Foundation, has proposed a significant increase to the gas limit on the Ethereum network. This proposal, known as Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9698, suggests a 100-fold increase over the next four years. This change aims to boost transaction capacity and enhance overall network performance. The plan includes an automated client-side setting that can facilitate this transition effectively. If implemented, this improvement could make Ethereum more scalable and competitive, aligning with the demands of a growing user base.
