TechFlame reported on July 22, The Block reported that the gas limit on the Ethereum blockchain has been raised to 45 million units, a 25% increase from the 36 million units set in February 2025. The boost was activated at block number 22,968,004

and was supported by nearly 50% of validators.

This adjustment does not require a hard fork and is designed to increase network transaction throughput and scalability. The developers also introduced security measures such as EIP-7983

, and set the maximum gas usage limit for a single transaction to 16.77 million units to prevent denial-of-service attacks.

Ethereum's short-term goal is to reach the 60 million gas limit per block, while the long-term goal is to reach 150 million gas units per block through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork.
