Ethereum’s Block Gas Limit Doubles to 60 Million, Boosting Transaction Efficiency

Ethereum has implemented a significant update to its block gas limit, increasing it from 45 million to 60 million following community-driven efforts. This adjustment was made possible by validator consensus and went into effect on November 25, 2025. The increased capacity is expected to boost transaction speeds and lower fees, contributing to Ethereum’s scalability while supporting the growth of DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications.
