Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano projected that the gas limit for Ethereum may more than triple next year, with aspirations among certain developers for a potential fivefold increase.

“I think that’s the floor, that’s the minimum, I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano stated during a recent Bankless podcast interview, shortly after the gas limit was raised from 45 million to 60 million.

The community aims for a significant increase in gas limits, allowing more transactions to fit into each Ethereum block efficiently. Sassano explained that this adjustment can be facilitated by recalibrating transaction costs—lowering some expenses while raising others.

Furthermore, he emphasized, “We’re basically trading efficiencies here.” Dissenting yet supportive voices from within the Ethereum developer community suggest this ambitious goal could indeed become a reality. The upcoming Fusaka upgrade, slated for December 3, is anticipated to enhance overall network scalability.

Key Points:

• Increased gas limits will enable more operations on Ethereum per block.
• Discussions among developers include strategies to achieve these adjustments.
• The Fusaka upgrade is set to improve Ethereum’s performance.
