USTC still plays a role in the Terra Classic network, powering DeFi pools and paying gas fees.

PANews, December 4—Vitalik Buterin stated that Ethereum will continue to enhance security and scalability through "hard invariants." He reviewed the 2021 EIP-2929/3529, which increased SLOAD costs and reduced refunds; the 2024 Dencun upgrade, which weakened SELFDESTRUCT; and the 2025 plan to set the single transaction limit to 16,777,216.

Jinse Finance reports that vitalik.eth posted on X, saying, "I always feel gratified to see everyone recognize protocol modifications that add hard fixed rules. These types of changes can both enhance protocol security and improve its adaptability for the future. 2021: Ethereum Improvement Proposals EIP-2929 and EIP-3529 (increasing gas fees for storage read operations and reducing gas refunds). 2024: Weakening of the self-destruct contract instruction (implemented with the Dencun upgrade). 2025: Setting a single transaction gas limit to 16,777,216. All of the above modifications establish various hard limits for the maximum processing capacity of a single block or transaction, which not only thoroughly avoids multiple denial-of-service attack risks but also simplifies client code, while opening up more feasible paths for improving system efficiency. I expect that the following still need to be promoted in the near future."

Odaily News According to the latest encryption weekly report released by Gate Ventures, directly applying traditional short-term valuation models (such as short-term price-to-earnings ratios and revenue models) to blockchain networks can lead to systemic pricing errors. Due to the adoption curve of the encryption industry exhibiting exponential characteristics, the long-term growth potential of assets like ETH and SOL is still largely underestimated; market sentiment and linear thinking obscure their true growth potential. Currently, overall market sentiment remains weak, with BTC rising 4.07% last week and ETH rising 6.82%, while the fear and greed index still remains in the "extreme fear" range. In terms of ecological dynamics, Ethereum has raised the block Gas Limit to 60 million for Fusaka.

Ethereum supporter Anthony Sassano pointed out that the gas limit of Ethereum may increase three to five times in the coming year, aiming to support higher network activity efficiency by adjusting the transaction cost. He co-authored an Ethereum Improvement Proposal with developer Ben Adams, which plans to be incorporated into the Glamsterdam upgrade in the first half of 2026.

TSMC recently confirmed that its Fab 21 factory in Arizona experienced production disruptions in late September due to a power outage from a supplier. According to insider Tim Culpan, the outage forced the factory to scrap some wafers, but TSMC has not disclosed the specific number of losses or economic impact. A TSMC representative confirmed to Tom's Hardware that the power outage did occur but did not confirm whether it resulted in wafer losses. The power outage originated from the UK industrial gas supplier Linde, which is responsible for supplying critical materials to Fab 21. Although the Fab 21 plant itself did not experience a power cut (equipped with backup generators), the disruption in the supply of critical materials forced the plant to halt production for several hours and caused potential losses. TSMC in the US must rely on external suppliers to manage gas infrastructure, while in Taiwan it is managed internally, making Fab 21 more susceptible to supply chain disruptions.

Ethereum has formulated further scaling plans for 2026 after completing the Pectra upgrade in 2025. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X (formerly Twitter) that the block gas limit of Ethereum is expected to increase by 5 times next year, achieving a more "targeted rise" to enhance network throughput while keeping Layer 2 (L2) transaction costs low. The gas limit is a key parameter that determines the number of transactions each block can handle. Currently, Ethereum's gas limit per block is 60 million gas, which has doubled since the community's first call for an increase a year ago. Raising the gas limit allows more transactions to be packed into blocks, but heavy and inefficient operations can increase costs, thereby preventing nodes from being overloaded with data storage.

Cronos officially subscribes to DoraHacks BUIDL AI, launching a technical hackathon with a prize pool of $42,000, focusing on AI-native and proxy payment applications, marking the return of the public chain ecosystem.

Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter announced on the X forum that this is the result of a year-long effort by the community, achieving a doubling of the Gas limit within a year. This adjustment will take effect automatically on November 25, with more than half of the validators voting in agreement, in accordance with the current Consensus rules of Ethereum.

PANews, November 26 news, Vitalik responded to Twitter user nikete, stating that while the Ethereum network plans to increase the Gas limit and the costs of inefficient operations, the actual selection of transactions in the block is still entirely determined by market mechanisms, "not following the Bitcoin model." He emphasized that the total Gas amount in a block is set by validators' voting, and many validators will refer to core developers' suggestions, but the final transaction selection is still determined by the free market.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that a more targeted scaling strategy will be adopted in the future, including raising the block gas limit and adjusting the gas costs of inefficient operations to promote the rise of Ethereum. Relevant adjustments are being developed for the upcoming upgrade.

BlockBeats reported that on November 26, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that "the Ethereum Gas limit is expected to continue to rise next year, but the growth targets are clearer, and the rate of increase will be reduced. For example, one possible future scenario is to increase the Gas limit by 5 times while raising the Gas cost for operations with relatively lower processing efficiency by 5 times."

According to BlockBeats news, on November 25, a cryptocurrency airdrop player continuously submitted failed transactions on the blockchain, ultimately burning all their MON airdrop token rewards worth over $112,000, spending it all on the Gas fees for the failed transactions. The wallet address "0x7f4" was originally allocated approximately $112,700 worth of Monad (MON) tokens for participating in the Monad ecosystem. However, due to submitting hundreds of failed on-chain transactions in subsequent operations, all transactions, even if failed, would deduct Gas, leading to the complete depletion of the airdrop rewards. On-chain signs indicate that the wallet owner may have used a script to send a large number of transactions in a short time without realizing that the initial few had already failed, resulting in all subsequent transactions failing and Gas continuously burning. Therefore, before making large transfers, one should conduct small test transactions.
