Ethereum developers launch “pump the gas” campaign to raise gas limit @sanor016 #sanor016CommUNITY Core Ethereum developers have started the “pump the gas” campaign to raise the blockchain’s gas limit from 30 million to 40 million. The initiative aims to reduce transaction fees on its primary layer by 15% to 33%, as announced on March 20. The idea stems from Eric Connor, a key Ethereum developer, and Mariano Conti, former head of smart contracts at MakerDAO, via a newly established website for the initiative. Their objective is to accommodate a 33% greater transaction volume daily on Ethereum, potentially reducing layer-1 transaction fees significantly. Central to the campaign is the conern that while data blobs introduced in the Dencun update via EIP-4844 have successfully reduced layer-2 transaction prices, layer-1 fees have remained unchanged. The developers are of the opinion that by increasing the gas limit and utilizing data blobs, scaling for both layer-1 and layer-2 networks might be greatly improved. Crypto.news reached out to Connors for further insights but didnot hear back.  Gas, measured in gwei (a fraction of Ether), is used to complete transactions or execute smart contracts. As such, the gas limit is a crucial parameter for the Ethereum network. It determines the maximum amount of gas that can be used for transactions or smart contracts in a block. Since August 2021, the limit has been set at 30 million. Gas limit standardization guarantees that block sizes are kept at a manageable level, thus maintaining network speed and synchronization. When new blocks are formed, validators can dynamically modify these limits depending on certain criteria. The idea behind raising the gas limit is that it allows for more transactions per block, which will make the network faster and more capable. However, this also means an increased demand for hardware resources, leading to greater risks of network spam and vulnerability to attacks.

Opensea introduces Seaport 1.6, cutting gas fees up to 5% for some transactions @sanor016 #sanor016CommUNITY OpenSea and the Seaport Working Group have released Seaport 1.6, the most recent version of the NFT marketplace protocol for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. ‘Seaport hooks,’ a new feature of the upgrade, is modeled around Uniswap v4 hooks. The goal of this feature is to facilitate the development of applications that increase NFTs’ utility and liquidity. By functioning as order fulfillment plugins, these hooks enable developers to easily integrate custom contracts into the Seaport protocol. Compared to its predecessor, Seaport 1.5, version 1.6 leverages the most recent Ethereum Dencun update. As a result, the platform says users will benefit from a 5% reduction in gas fees for some transactions. According to the announcement, major EVM chains are already using this deployment. #Write2Earn‬ Using the Seaport hooks function, contracts can be deployed and invoked by Seaport, ensuring a smooth and efficient order execution process. This allows NFTs to adapt their properties based on purchase conditions such as price and volume and can be obtained using specific currencies or other NFTs. It also allows for the development of bonding curves and price oracles for NFTs. #Write2Earn‬ OpenSea intends to move user orders to Seaport 1.6 on Monday, March 25. This technique does not involve user interaction. Furthermore, as of Monday, April 1, only Seaport 1.6 orders will be accepted by the OpenSea Developer API. Consequently, Seaport 1.5 will be phased out over time. #Write2Earn‬ In addition, OpenSea mentioned that the integration of seaport hooks will allow NFT sales to access liquidity from various on-chain sources.

Opensea introduces Seaport 1.6, cutting gas fees up to 5% for some transactions
@sanor016
#sanor016CommUNITY

OpenSea and the Seaport Working Group have released Seaport 1.6, the most recent version of the NFT marketplace protocol for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem.

‘Seaport hooks,’ a new feature of the upgrade, is modeled around Uniswap v4 hooks. The goal of this feature is to facilitate the development of applications that increase NFTs’ utility and liquidity.

By functioning as order fulfillment plugins, these hooks enable developers to easily integrate custom contracts into the Seaport protocol.

Compared to its predecessor, Seaport 1.5, version 1.6 leverages the most recent Ethereum Dencun update.

As a result, the platform says users will benefit from a 5% reduction in gas fees for some transactions. According to the announcement, major EVM chains are already using this deployment.
#Write2Earn‬
Using the Seaport hooks function, contracts can be deployed and invoked by Seaport, ensuring a smooth and efficient order execution process.

This allows NFTs to adapt their properties based on purchase conditions such as price and volume and can be obtained using specific currencies or other NFTs. It also allows for the development of bonding curves and price oracles for NFTs.
#Write2Earn‬
OpenSea intends to move user orders to Seaport 1.6 on Monday, March 25. This technique does not involve user interaction.

Furthermore, as of Monday, April 1, only Seaport 1.6 orders will be accepted by the OpenSea Developer API. Consequently, Seaport 1.5 will be phased out over time.
