According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Cointelegraph, the Ethereum community's support for raising the Gas limit has gradually increased, with the proportion of validator support rising from 1% in December to 10%. Ethereum core developer Eric Connor and former MakerDAO smart contract lead Mariano Conti launched the 'Pump The Gas' website in March, advocating for raising the Gas limit to 40 million to reduce transaction fees by 15%-33%.
They are calling on stakers, client teams, and the community to jointly promote this change. In December, researcher Justin Drake set his validator to a Gas limit of 36 million, further supporting this proposal. Emmanuel Awosika, the creative director of 2077 Collective, also pointed out that the current Gas limit restricts the deployment of high-demand applications.
However, some individuals have expressed concerns, believing that raising the Gas limit could jeopardize network stability and security, particularly with a warning from Toni Wahrstätter of the Ethereum Foundation.
