Ethereum is set to propose a significant increase in its block gas ceiling to 60 million units as part of the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. This change aims to boost the base-layer throughput by approximately 33%, potentially reducing network congestion and enhancing Layer-2 scalability. The proposal requires at least 50% validator approval to proceed, with test runs planned for October 2025, though the mainnet implementation date remains flexible. Despite the potential benefits, the proposal has sparked debate within the community. Critics express concerns over possible centralization risks due to increased resource demands on nodes. Currently, only 17% of validators have indicated their support for the change, highlighting the ongoing deliberations within the Ethereum network.
