The Ethereum network has raised the block gas limit for the first time under the PoS mechanism

After gaining support from over 50% of validators, the Ethereum network successfully raised the block gas cap for the first time under the PoS mechanism. Data shows that the gas cap has exceeded 31.50 million from the previous 30 million and is expected to eventually be adjusted to 36 million. This adjustment can be completed without a hard fork, providing support for network expansion. It is worth noting that the last gas cap adjustment for Ethereum occurred in 2021, when it was raised from 15 million to 30 million. Although the Dencun upgrade has improved network expansion performance, the gas cap adjustment is still necessary as the demand for DApps grows.
