Vitalik Buterin advocated an increase in gas limit in Ethereum

The co -founder of the Ethereum Vitalik Buterin said that the increase in gas limit will strengthen the security and reliability of the network. The limit determines the maximum amount of computing work in one block. An increase in the limit makes it possible to carry out more transactions.

Representatives of the Gaslimit site reported that on July 20, the gas limit indicator determining the maximum amount of computing work in one block in some blocks increased from 36 million to 39 million units. The co -founder of the Ethereum left a comment under the Gaslimit message, saying that at least half of the steamers supported an increase in gas limit to 45 million units.

According to Butaterin, after updating one of the most famous customers of the Ethereum, Geth, an increase in gas limit should not lead to network security problems.

At the same time, representatives of the Pump The GAS initiative noticed that, due to the increase in the limit, the work of validators who have small funds at their disposal may be complicated, since they will increase the cost of maintenance.

In addition, according to PUMP The Gas, due to the too high gas limit, blockchain can become “too heavy” for solitary NOD operators-and new solutions will be required to improve the basic infrastructure.

Earlier, Vitalik Buterin in an interview with the Epicenter podcast announced that Ethereum Foundation will change its strategy. According to the co -founder, the fund will direct its efforts to solve several most important problems – instead of developing the entire ecosystem.
