Cointelegraph reported that the Ethereum community has divergent views towards the increase. As Anton Bukov, CTO of 1inch, said, “operations that cost little gas but require a lot of resources may be used to attack node.”
Gas is a unit of computational effort consumed for transactions and other activities on the Ethereum blockchain.
