Ethereum Developers Postpone Gas Limit Increase for Thorough Testing

Ethereum developers have delayed a planned gas limit increase, opting for further testing to ensure optimal performance and privacy. The decision was made following discussions among core developers, with Tim Beiko outlining the plan to analyze throughput and latency data through real-world simulations. This postponement will guide future decisions based on empirical evidence, according to Beiko. 🧠 The focus now shifts towards anticipated privacy enhancements via FOCIL, which aims to improve transaction anonymity and resistance against mempool inspection. These changes are expected to bolster overall network privacy. 🤔
