According to The Block, the Ethereum blockchain gas cap has been raised to 45 million units, a 25% increase from the 36 million units set in February 2025. The increase was activated at block number 22,968,004, supported by nearly 50% of validators.
This adjustment does not require a hard fork and is designed to improve network transaction throughput and scalability. Developers also introduce security measures such as EIP-7983, which caps the gas usage of a single transaction to 16.77 million units to prevent Distributed Denial-of-service.
The short-term goal of Ethereum is to achieve a cap of 60 million gas per block, while the long-term goal is to reach 150 million gas units per block through the upcoming Fusaka hard fork.
