Discussions about increasing Ethereum's gas cap continue. Vitalik Buterin proposed a "modest" gas limit increase of 33% on January 11. This can increase the overall capacity of the network by allowing more transactions per block. However, Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden published a blog post arguing that increasing the gas limit is difficult.
Wijden stated that the main concern will be the increase in the size of the blockchain state, which contains account balances and smart contract data. He said that if the gas limit is increased, the scale of the situation will grow faster. Additionally, higher limits increase synchronization times and make it difficult to create various clients.
Gnosis co-founder Martin Köppelmann also expressed concern about the increase in bandwidth if the gas limit increases. Ethereum team lead Péter Szilágyi also echoed concerns about increasing gas limits.
Potential solutions include EIP-4444, which addresses the issue of chain history expiration, and EIP-4844, which will help curb long-term growth trends.
