The proportion of validators supporting the increase in the Gas upper limit in the Ethereum network has been raised to 10%.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum community’s support for increasing the gas limit is gradually strengthening, with the support rate of validators increasing from 1% in December to 10%. Ethereum core developer Eric Connor and former Smart Contract lead at MakerDAO Mariano Conti launched the ‘Pump The Gas’ website in March, advocating for raising the gas limit to 40 million to reduce Money Laundering by 15%-33%. They call on validators, customer teams, and the community to collectively drive this change. In December, researcher Justin Drake set his validator configuration to a gas limit of 36 million, further supporting the proposal. Emmanuel Awosika, Creative Director of 2077 Collective, also pointed out that the current gas limit restricts the deployment of high-demand applications. However, some people have expressed concerns that increasing the gas limit may jeopardize network stability and security, especially Toni Wahrstätter from the Ethereum Foundation, who has issued a warning.
