The co-authors of EIP-1559 call for increasing the Ethereum gas limit! Start an event Pump the gas

Developer and EIP-1559 co-author Eric Connor and former MakerDAO smart contract leader Mariano Conti launched a new website "Pump the gas" on March 20.

This event aims to promote the increase of the Ethereum Gas limit from 3,000 to 40 million, which is the same as Vitalik’s proposition earlier this year.

Eric Connor said in a tweet that he is actively promoting this process. He particularly emphasized that this will reduce the transaction fees of Ethereum by 15-33%, and called on independent pledgers, client teams, miners, etc. Pool and community members came together to support the initiative.

The website pointed out that the Dencun upgrade introduced proto danksharding to provide blob storage space and reduce the cost of L2 building data availability (DA) on the Ethereum mainnet.

But this does not reduce the cost of mainnet L1, and the combination of blobs and increasing the gas limit will help expand L1 and L2 at the same time.

Not everyone agrees with raising the gas limit. Ethereum advocate Evan Van Ness said that the current stage is not suitable for implementation.

Previously, Marius Van Der Wijden, the core developer of Ethereum, also explained in a long article, pointing out that increasing the block capacity of Ethereum will bring many other risks and requires careful consideration.
