according to The Block, the Ethereum blockchain Gas limit has been increased to 45 million units, a 25% increase from the 36 million units set in February 2025. This upgrade was activated at block number 22,968,004 and received support from nearly 50% of validators.

This adjustment does not require a hard fork and aims to improve network transaction throughput and scalability. Developers have also introduced security measures such as EIP-7983, setting the maximum Gas usage per transaction at 16.77 million units to prevent denial of service attacks.

Ethereum's short-term goal is to achieve a Gas limit of 60 million per block, while the long-term goal is to reach 150 million Gas units per block through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork.
