Ethereum tripling its gas limit is the ‘floor, we can go higher’ — Sassano

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said Ethereum’s gas limit could climb beyond three times next year, with some developers pushing for a fivefold increase.

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said the goal to significantly increase Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million next year is a baseline rather than a best-case scenario.

“I think that’s the floor, that’s the minimum, I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano said during an interview on the Bankless podcast on Friday, just a day after Ethereum’s gas limit, which is the maximum amount of work the network allows in each block, was raised from 45 million to 60 million.

“The general consensus that has been set by the core developers and researchers is that they want to aim for at least a 3X increase in the gas limit for the next couple of years,” he said.
