The proportion of validators supporting an increase in the Gas limit on the Ethereum network has risen to 10%
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum community's support for raising the Gas limit is gradually increasing, with the validator support ratio rising from 1% a year ago to 10%. Ethereum core developer Eric Connor and former MakerDAO smart contract lead Mariano Conti launched the "Pump The Gas" website in March, advocating for raising the Gas limit to 40 million to reduce transaction fees by 15%-33%.They are calling on stakers, client teams, and the community to jointly promote this change. In December, researcher Justin Drake configured his validator to a Gas limit of 36 million, further supporting this proposal. Emmanuel Awosika, creative director of 2077 Collective, also pointed out that the current Gas limit restricts the deployment of high-demand applications.However, some individuals have expressed concerns, arguing that raising the Gas limit could jeopardize network stability and security, with Toni Wahrstätter from the Ethereum Foundation issuing a warning about this.
