Ethereum raises block gas limit to 60M as network capacity climbs ahead of Fusaka
Over 500,000 validators now signal a 60 million gas limit, boosting Ethereum’s block capacity and marking a new phase of targeted layer-1 scaling.
Data tracker Gas Limit Pics showed that in November, over 513,000 validators signaled a 60 million gas limit, pushing the Ethereum network over the threshold needed for the protocol to begin moving the gas limit upward.
A higher gas limit allows Ethereum to fit more work into each block, including swaps, token transfers and smart contract calls. In practice, that can ease congestion during busy periods and help the network process more activity at the base layer.
Big step for Ethereum scaling - higher gas limits mean smoother DeFi ops during peaks. Reminds me of how network upgrades historically boost adoption without layer-2 reliance. Smart move ahead of Fusaka

Summarize
Ethereum has raised its block gas limit to 60 million for the first time in 4 years, boosting network capacity ahead of the Fusaka upgrade on Dec 3. Over 513,000 validators signaled support in November, enabling more transactions per block and L1 scaling.
