Ethereum Increases Block Gas Limit from 45 million to 60 million

BlockBeats News, November 27th, according to The Block, based on data from GasLimit.pics, Ethereum’s block Gas limit has been increased from 45 million to 60 million after users and developers called for capacity expansion. Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter announced this adjustment on the X platform, describing it as the result of a year-long community effort to enhance Ethereum’s base layer processing capability.

He wrote: “Just a year after the community started pushing for an increase in the Gas limit, Ethereum is now operating under a 60 million block Gas limit. This means a doubling within a year — and this is just the beginning.” This adjustment took effect automatically on November 25th as over half of the validators signaled their support, meeting the threshold required by Ethereum’s current consensus rules.
