Vitalik Buterin proposes to cap gas usage per Ethereum transaction to boost zkVM compatibility, security – MAXBIT
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Toni Wahrstätter, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, have put forth a proposal that will cap the maximum gas a single transaction can use. The proposal, EIP 7983, claims: “By implementing this limit, Ethereum can enhance its resilience against certain DoS [Denial of Service attack] vectors, improve network stability, and...
Vitalik Proposes 16.77M Gas Cap for Ethereum to Enhance Security - Invest In Crypto News
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and researcher Toni Wahrstätter have put forward EIP-7983, which aims to introduce a protocol-level cap on transaction gas usage to increase network security and performance. The proposal sets a maximum gas limit of 16.77 million (2²⁴) for individual transactions. “By implementing this limit, Ethereum can enhance its resilience against certain DoS vectors, improve network stability, and provide more predictabi…
Vitalik Buterin Proposes Gas Cap to Strengthen Ethereum Security and Stability
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and researcher Toni Wahrstätter have put forward a new proposal, EIP-7983, which tries to cap the gas usage per transaction at 16.77 million units. The proposal is proposed to make Ethereum more robust against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, increase stability, and enable higher compatibility with zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs). Why Ethereum Needs a Gas Cap With Ethereum’s current configuration, one …
Vitalik Buterin proposes a low Ethereum gas limit
Vitalik Buterin along with fellow researcher Toni Wahrstätter have proposed EIP 7983 which caps the Ethereum transaction gas limit to 16.77 million or (2^24). The proposal was created on GitHub in late June and was finalized today. EIP 7983 states that the gas limit will affect the Ethereum network at the protocol level. The new gas cap will help in securing and stabilizing the Ethereum network while making transaction costs more predictable. …
Ethereum Co-Founder Proposes 16.77 Million Gas Cap to Combat Network Attacks
TLDR: EIP-7983 proposes a 16.77M gas cap to limit high-cost Ethereum transactions. Cap would block complex txs that consume entire block limits, reducing DoS risk. Rule to be hardcoded into Ethereum clients and enforced in the txpool. Change could pressure developers to streamline contract efficiency and logic. Ethereum developers are advancing a new proposal to set a firm ceiling on how much gas a single transaction can use. The move, led by …
