PANews July 22 news, the Gas limit of the Ethereum Blockchain block has been raised to 45 million units, an increase of 25% from the previous limit of 36 million units set in February 2025. The Gas limit officially took effect at block number 22,968,004.
The increase to 45 million is part of the Ethereum scalability roadmap, with a short-term goal for validators set at a 60 million Gas limit, and a long-term plan to achieve a 15 million Gas limit through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork and EIP-7935. To mitigate risks, developers have also introduced protective mechanisms such as EIP-7983, setting the Gas usage limit for a single transaction at 16.77 million units to prevent denial-of-service attacks and ensure network stability.
