Ethereum developers target January gas limit increase to 80 million after BPO fork

Ethereum’s transaction throughput is expected to rise in January as core developers are weighing a gas limit increase from 60 million to 80 million following the second blob parameter-only hard fork on Jan. 7. Meeting participants plan to reconfirm the timeline on Jan. 5, while client teams work on partial blob responses and a max blobs flag before implementing the new block gas target.
