Ethereum block gas limit increased to 36M, L1 transaction volume up by 20%

ChainCatcher message, according to a technical update forwarded by Vitalik, shows that Ethereum L1 has recently completed a dynamic adjustment of the block gas limit, increasing it from 30M to 36M, resulting in a 20% increase in L1 transaction throughput, while also expected to reduce transaction fees by 10% to 30%.

This adjustment was not decided by any single entity, but rather is the result of validators gradually adjusting parameters and reaching consensus. Currently, 49.5% of validators have reported adopting the 36M gas limit.
