Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum’s Growth Will Be “Less Uniform” as Gas Costs Face Targeted Adjustments
2025-11-27 02:15
Just a year after developers — led in part by Vitalik Buterin’s push for scaling — began advocating for higher gas limits, Ethereum is now operating with a 60 million block gas limit, doubling network capacity in only 12 months. Expect continued growth but more targeted / less uniform growth for next year. eg. one possible future is: 5x gas limit increase together with 5x gas cost increase for operations that are relatively inefficient to process Potential targets for such increases (my current view):… https://t.co/FkiTxJnEAq — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) November 26, 2025 As highlighted by Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter, this marks one of the most important throughput expansions on Ethereum’s mainnet in years and shows a maturing network ready for more complex applications. A 60 million gas limit means each block can fit far more transactions, contract calls, and on-chain operations. The increase was driven by coordinated support across client...
