Ethereum Developer Discusses Potential Gas Limit Increase Concerns

Ethereum developer Tim Beiko has sparked debate regarding a proposed tenfold increase in the gas limit. He suggests that such an increase would require simultaneous adjustments to gas costs for CREATE, CREATE2, and SSTORE operations. Beiko questions whether this would actually improve network efficiency and invites community feedback on addressing state growth as a solution for scaling Layer 1 protocols. An X poll was initiated by Beiko with options ranging from ‘gas limit and opcode cost’ to ‘do not increase storage costs.’ The ongoing discussion underscores the complex trade-offs involved in balancing network scalability and operational cost efficiency within the Ethereum community.
