Here's something flying under the radar: the block gas limit just jumped from 36M to 60M.
Sounds technical? Sure. But the ripple effects are worth unpacking.
Every block can now pack in way more transactions. That's the obvious part. What it really means: networks don't choke during peak hours anymore. Fee spikes become less dramatic. You get smoother execution when things heat up.
Throughput climbs without breaking a sweat. Validators pull in bigger fee hauls per block. And here's the kicker—more fees means more ETH gets torched through the burn mechanism.
Not flashy. Not headline-grabbing. Just solid infrastructure work that compounds over time. The kind of upgrade that matters more than people realize.

Gas limit doubled? Now the arbitrage bots in the mempool will have to readjust their parameters. The arbitrage opportunities are bound to shrink, but validator fees have also increased... How do you calculate if this trade-off is worth it?

A 60M gas limit is indeed low-key, but this is what real infrastructure work looks like.

It’s another one of those underlying optimizations that nobody cares about, but it really deserves a closer look... Raising the gas limit to 60M means less congestion and fees won’t be so outrageous anymore, which truly improves the experience for regular users.

66M gas limit may not sound like much, but it's actually pretty significant. The days of network congestion are finally coming to an end.

Damn, the Gas limit is doubling? Now that's a real infrastructure upgrade, quietly getting big things done.

Doubling the gas limit is indeed something that can be easily overlooked, but it's actually quite crucial.

Hey, the 60M gas limit thing is actually pretty important. Peak periods won’t be so congested anymore.

To be honest, these kinds of infrastructure upgrades often get slept on, but their long-term effects really shouldn’t be underestimated.
---
More transaction volume, more fees burned... this is the kind of value that happens quietly in the background.
---
It’s not some big headline news, but it’s exactly these “boring” things that can truly change the network’s fundamentals.
---
Wait, what does increased validator income mean? Is this another case of whales quietly profiting?
---
Just raising the gas limit to solve congestion? I have my reservations about that.

This is real infrastructure—way more reliable than those concept coins.

NGL, this kind of infrastructure is the easiest to sleep on, but it truly is the unsung hero driving the ecosystem.
