4X increase in GAS LIMIT.

Ethereum developers want to help the network handle more activity by increasing the gas limit by a factor of 4.

The gas limit controls how much work can be processed in each Ethereum block. If the gas limit is higher, more transactions can be included in each block.

They plan to increase the gas limit to 150 million in the next major upgrade, called Fusaka (expected in late 2025).

They will test it thoroughly before then, as increasing the gas limit to a larger size could lead to bugs that need to be fixed.

This change will help Ethereum handle more transactions at once without adding new features.

While the final gas limit is decided by validators, developers are working together to ensure all software is ready in time.
