Well, butter my blockchain, looks like Ethereum’s Anthony Sassano has been sipping from the goblet of optimism again! 🥤✨ According to this wizard of the web3 world, tripling Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million is just the starting line. “That’s the floor, not the ceiling,” he quipped on the Bankless podcast, presumably while juggling smart contracts and a sense of humor. 🤹♂️💡
“We can go higher,” he declared, as if Ethereum were a rocket ship and not a decentralized network. 🚀🌕 Just a day after the gas limit got a 33% boost from 45 million to 60 million, Sassano’s already eyeing a 3X increase in the next couple of years. Because, you know, why walk when you can sprint into the future? 🏃♂️💨
And get this: some core devs are whispering about a fivefold increase. Five. Fold. That’s not just ambitious-it’s downright audacious. Or, as Nanny Ogg would say, “They’re not just boiling the kettle; they’re trying to brew the entire ocean.” 🌊☕
ETH Gas Limit: The Great Repricing Juggle 🎪💸
For the uninitiated, a higher gas limit means more swaps, token transfers, and smart contract calls per block. It’s like upgrading from a donkey cart to a hyperloop. 🛺→🚄 Sassano reckons this can be done by rejigging transaction costs-making some activities cheaper while hiking the price of others. “It’s all about trading efficiencies,” he explained, probably while balancing a ledger on his nose. 🤡📊
For instance, slashing the cost of a basic ETH transfer from 21,000 gas to 6,000 gas? That’s a 70% discount! 🎉 Meanwhile, other operations might get pricier, especially those that are “relatively inefficient to process,” as Vitalik Buterin so delicately put it. Because, let’s face it, even Ethereum needs to Marie Kondo its network: “Does this transaction spark joy? No? Then it’s getting a price hike.” 🧹💔
Fusaka Upgrade: The Scalability Sorcerer’s Next Trick 🎩✨
Sassano and Ethereum core developer Ben Adams are cooking up an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) for the Glamsterdam upgrade, slated for 2026. Because nothing says “future-proof” like a name that sounds like a disco in the Netherlands. 🕺🇳🇱
Meanwhile, the recent gas limit hike to 60 million has devs buzzing like bees in a blockchain. 🐝🔗 Adams quipped on X, “Remember when ‘double L1 gas’ sounded spicy?” Well, spice levels have gone from jalapeño to ghost pepper in under a year. 🌶️🔥 Toni Wahrstätter chimed in, “That’s a 2× increase in a single year-and it’s only the beginning.” Strap in, folks; this rollercoaster isn’t stopping anytime soon. 🎢💨
All this comes ahead of the Fusaka upgrade, which hit the Hoodi testnet on Oct. 29 and is set for a Dec. 3 mainnet debut. Fusaka promises to make Ethereum as scalable as a Discworld librarian’s patience-which is saying something. 📚🧙♂️
So, will Ethereum’s gas limit hit the stratosphere? Only time (and a lot of coding) will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Sassano and co. aren’t just dreaming big-they’re dreaming in hexadecimal. 🌌0xDEADBEEF
