Ethereum Foundation Updates on Scaling Progress: Mainnet Gas Limit Increased to 45 Million, Moving Towards Higher Scaling Goals

Odaily News The Ethereum Foundation recently published a blog post updating the progress of "scaling L1" related work, mainly including: Marius van der Wijden joining Ansgar Dietrichs and Tim Beiko to co-lead the L1 scaling direction; after Berlinterop testing, the Ethereum Mainnet Gas limit has been raised to 45 million, laying the foundation for future goals of reaching 100 million Gas and beyond; all mainstream execution layer clients have integrated the pre-merge historical record expiration feature, significantly dropping node disk usage. It is reported that the foundation reorganized its R&D team in June this year and was renamed "Protocol", focusing on three strategic directions: L1 scaling, Blob scaling, and user experience optimization, while also considering security and decentralization.
