The upcoming Fusaka hard fork for Ethereum aims to significantly expand its gas limit, potentially increasing it by up to 4 times. This proposal, detailed in Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9678, has gained traction at core developer meetings and is poised to become a key feature of the release. The idea was presented by Sophia Gold, from the Ethereum Foundation, on April 23rd. Ethereum developers are exploring additional EIPs to enhance this upgrade’s impact on gas throughput. This could lead to an expansion in Fusaka’s scope beyond initial expectations. While development continues, the move reflects efforts to bolster Layer 1 performance and maintain Ethereum’s competitive edge within the evolving smart contract landscape.
