Ethereumyes gas limit should have inflated every year since compute/disk/memory continually improve.
Ethereumi'd love to see it. "anyone can run a home validator for $1000 in hardware + $100/mo in internet" is an important schelling fence, but that buys more every year! important to keep reinforcing the precedent that Ethereum is not static. tech choices rooted in principled empiricism rather than religion

As a solo staker tbh Iād prefer not to increase it. In the long-term users will have to migrate to L2s anyway and with EIP-4844 around the corner why further bloat L1? I feel like I will have to (and already had in the past) upgrade my storage capacity regularly as the state grows quite fast already
Ethereum
Yes! That would send a strong signal across the industry and show our ability to influence the ecosystem without the implications of the Ethereum Foundation

Its important for coinbase to prioritize client diversity first https://x.com/vdwijden/status/1745111079657578636?s=46

Whats the downside of doing this?
Ethereum
This may be orthogonal, but I would love to see a higher block gas limit on Base (and other L2's). I want to utilize the cost savings of Base to have more exhaustive accounting on chain, but for some use cases I have run into block gas limit constraints
Ethereum
Iām for it, though 33% seems like a big jump, as @ansgar.eth said we already have a āblocksize increaseā shock soon with 4844, perhaps we can go at it iteratively
Ethereum
I think not yet - 4844 early results already show significant impact to gas and latency There are centralization vectors not just from the increased hardware cost but the second order effect on the PBS builder market. It can also add complexity to SSF Further R&D efforts are warranted imho
Ethereum
I would rather see a plan to increase 5-10% a few times over several months and see how it goes vs jumping up 33% all at once. But ultimately the Ethereumās solo stakers should have 100x weight in this discussion. If it affects them poorly then hard no.
Ethereum
I read the first half of the first reddit comment and agree completely
Ethereum
I think an objective document outlining pros/cons and the expected outcome would be helpful here. Even being in the space for a while itās hard to have an informed opinion and meaningful contribute to these gas conversations.
