[Ethereum Plans to Raise Gas Limit to 80 Million After January 7 BPO Hard Fork] The Ethereum core developers' meeting plans to raise the network gas limit from 60 million to 80 million following the January 7 BPO hard fork. Galaxy Digital's Vice President of Research, Kim, stated that Nethermind representatives believe developers are ready to proceed with this increase. However, Ethereum Foundation engineer Busa pointed out that two client optimizations must first be completed: the execution layer's blob response and the consensus layer's maximum blob flag. This year, Ethereum has already raised the gas limit three times, with the developer community aiming to reach 180 million by the end of 2026.
