【Ethereum is expected to raise the Gas limit to 80 million in January 2026】According to Cointelegraph, the transaction throughput of the Ethereum network will be improved again next month, as developers plan to raise Ethereum's gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, shared a summary of the core developer meeting on Monday, where a representative from Nethermind stated that developers should be prepared to advance the gas limit increase after the next BPO hard fork on January 7. However, Barnabas Busa, a developer operations engineer at the Ethereum Foundation, pointed out that before the block gas limit is raised again, two client-level optimizations need to be completed, namely the execution layer's part Blob response and the consensus layer's maximum Blob flag settings. All participants in the Ethereum core developer meeting will gather again on January 5 to confirm when to raise the gas limit after the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork took place on December 9, increasing the blob capacity by 66%; the second hard fork, expected on January 7, will further increase it by 66%. Ethereum developers and members of the research community have reached a consensus that the goal is to raise the network's gas limit to 180 million by the end of 2026.
