Ethereum Foundation Announces Gas Limit Cap for Upcoming Fusaka Upgrade

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a change to the upcoming Fusaka hard fork that will introduce a per-transaction gas limit cap.

The EF unveiled the change via its blog today, with the update, also known as EIP-7825, already live on the Holesky and Sepolia testnet networks. EIP-7825 is expected to launch on the Ethereum mainnet when Fusaka goes live in December.

Currently, a single transaction can fill an entire block's 45 million gas limit, which could inhibit parallel execution and open the door to Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. The change will set a per-transaction gas limit of 16.78 million to mitigate potential issues.
