According to Cointelegraph, the proportion of Ethereum validators supporting an increase in the network Gas limit has risen to 10%. On December 19, the number of validators supporting a Gas limit exceeding 30 million increased to 10%.
Ethereum community members are working to raise the Gas limit to 36 million to reduce transaction fees. On March 20, core developers Eric Connor and former MakerDAO smart contract head Mariano Conti launched the website "Pump The Gas," advocating for raising the Gas limit to 40 million.
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake stated that he has configured the validator to a 36 million Gas limit, believing that a 20% increase could "safely lubricate operations."
Emmanuel Awosika, Creative Director of 2077 Collective, pointed out that raising the Gas limit helps developers deploy high-demand applications.
However, Toni Wahrstätter from the Ethereum Foundation warned that excessively high Gas limits could pose risks to stability and security. The "Pump The Gas" website also acknowledges these risks, emphasizing that Ethereum's core goal is to maintain decentralization.
