According to reports, the block Gas limit of the Ethereum blockchain has been increased to 45 million units, a 25% increase from the previous limit of 36 million units set in February 2025, with the new limit officially taking effect at block number 22,968,004. This increase to 45 million is part of Ethereum's expansion roadmap, with validators aiming for a short-term target of 60 million Gas limit, and planning to achieve a 150 million Gas limit through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork and EIP-7935 in the long term. To mitigate risks, developers have also introduced protective mechanisms such as EIP-7983, setting a maximum Gas usage limit per transaction at 16.77 million units to prevent denial-of-service attacks and ensure network stability.
