Ethereum is planning a significant upgrade, known as Glamorous, which could see the network's gas limit increase from 60 million to 200 million per block. This change represents a 233% increase in the gas limit.
The proposed increase is currently being tested on Ethereum's test networks. However, there is no set date for when this upgrade might be implemented on the mainnet.
The primary goal of this upgrade is to enhance the network's transaction throughput and reduce congestion. If successful, it could lead to faster transaction times and lower fees for users.
Ethereum's current gas limit has been a point of contention, with some developers arguing that it restricts the network's ability to handle a high volume of transactions. The Glamorous upgrade aims to address these concerns.
At the time of writing, Ethereum is priced at $2411.67, with a 24-hour increase of 0.23% and a 7-day decrease of 4.87%. The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.82 trillion.
Since this brief published about 11 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from $2,411.67 to $2,426.54 — +0.62%.
