Vitalik Buterin Unveils Ethereum’s Future Growth Strategy

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined a targeted expansion strategy during recent social media posts. He proposes increasing the block gas limit by a factor of five, while simultaneously raising the cost for less efficient operations by that same amount. These adjustments target specific functions such as SSTORE (creating new storage), precompiled code excluding elliptic curve related calls, large contract interactions, complex arithmetic calculations, and Calldata costs. Buterin notes that Ethereum’s block gas limit has already doubled to 60 million over the past year, signaling a continued focus on improving efficiency in the future. The corresponding EIP for gas repricing is currently being developed for the upcoming
