In the latest thrilling episode of “Let’s Make Ethereum Even More Complicated,” our dear Feist unveiled EIP-9698 this Sunday. The plan? A gentle, little old hundredfold increase in Ethereum’s gas limit — because why settle for tiny sips when you can gulp from the firehose? Starting in June 2025, clients will vote exponentially, mathematically catapulting the gas limit up tenfold every two years. Yes, really. It’s like watching a soufflé rise, but with more decimals and gas fees.
A Delightfully Predictable Rocket Ride to Scalability
Feist’s brainchild calls it a “deterministic gas limit growth schedule.” Fancy words for “we’ll turn up the dial steadily so you’re never quite sure if your node will survive the decade.” From a quaint 36 million gas today to a staggering 3.6 billion by 2029. That’s enough to make your grandmother gasp, or at least reboot her router.
“This EIP encourages a sustainable and transparent gas limit trajectory,” Feist assures us, possibly while polishing his crystal ball. He’s banking on hardware and protocol improvements keeping pace—because if not, well, we might all just start mining on smoke signals.
And thanks to Fabrice Cheng, we learn that ETH could handle 2,000 transactions per second. 💃 That’s speedier than your last online shopping spree—and just as likely to leave you breathless.
Hurdles on the Highway to Hyper-Scalability
Of course, it’s not all champagne and caviar. Feist admits the rapid pace risks burdening poorer, less-optimized nodes. Think of it as pushing your old jalopy up a mountain: there’s some groaning, sputtering, and the occasional desperate prayer to the tech gods.
But fear not! This grand scheme’s so gradual that node operators and developers should have ample time to tinker, tweak, and pray for network stability. Meanwhile, the Ethereum crowd is abuzz, weighing the dazzling dreams of gargantuan scalability against the lurking specter of tech debt—because no good party comes without a bit of cleanup.
