How to Raise the Gas Limit: Use Ultra High Resolution Data by Storm Slivkoff | Devcon SEA

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Recent advances in EVM data processing enable a more rigorous approach for understanding and enacting Ethereum’s scaling roadmap. In the past, discussions around whether to raise Ethereum’s gas limit have been held back by imprecise terminology and a lack of detailed quantitative evidence. The debate is often “vibes-based”. Leveraging ultra high resolution datasets enables a more scientific understanding of the gas limit, including issues like state growth, hardware bottlenecks, and gas pricing.
