Ethereum is expected to increase the Gas Limit to 80 million in January 2026.

11 hours ago

On December 18th, Ethereum’s transaction throughput is set to rise again next month as developers plan to increase the network’s gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. However, Ethereum Foundation Developer Operations Engineer Barnabas Busa noted that two client-side optimizations must be completed before the limit is raised again: partial Blob responses at the execution layer and setting a maximum Blob flag at the consensus layer. All Ethereum core developers will reconvene on January 5th to confirm the timeline for raising the gas limit following the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork occurred on December 9th, boosting blob capacity by 66%; the second, scheduled for January 7th, will add another 66% increase. Ethereum developers and research community members have reached a consensus that the network’s gas limit should hit 180 million by the end of 2026. (Source: Cointelegraph)
