Ethereum core developers are taking another step to speed up transactions and lower fees. The network’s gas limit will jump from 60M → 80M, allowing more transactions and smart contract operations per block.
Galaxy Digital’s VP of Research, Kim, shared that Nethermind reps are confident developers are ready. Ethereum engineer Busa added a caveat: two client optimizations must finish first — the execution layer’s blob response and consensus layer’s max blob flag.
While this won’t make Ethereum as fast as Solana, it strengthens its role as a secure, decentralized settlement layer. Already increased three times this year, the community aims for 180M gas by end of 2026.
