During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" event organized by the Ethereum Foundation research team, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pointed out that the gas limit has not increased in nearly three years, which is the longest time in the history of the protocol. He believes that even today, it is reasonable to moderately increase the gas limit. Vitalik also did some simple calculations and said that raising the Ethereum gas limit to 40 million would improve network throughput. According to Etherscan data, the current gas limit is 30 million, which means an increase of 33%.
