Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said the goal to significantly increase Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million next year is a baseline rather than a best-case scenario.

“I think that’s the floor, that’s the minimum, I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano said during an interview on the Bankless podcast on Friday, just a day after Ethereum’s gas limit, which is the maximum amount of work the network allows in each block, was raised from 45 million to 60 million.

“The general consensus that has been set by the core developers and researchers is that they want to aim for at least a 3X increase in the gas limit for the next couple of years,” he said. 

Sassano pointed out that some Ethereum core developers are even discussing a potential fivefold increase in the gas limit within the next year.

Sassano said developers can achieve this by rebalancing transaction costs, making some activities cheaper on Ethereum while increasing the expense of others. 

“We can lower the cost of a basic ETH transfer from 21,000 gas to 6,000 gas, which is an over 70% cost reduction, while keeping the gas limit the same,” he said, explaining that by redistributing costs in this way and repricing other activities, the network could ultimately support higher gas limits. 

“We’re basically trading efficiencies here,” Sassano said. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was among those advocating a potential fivefold increase, proposing higher costs for operations that are “relatively inefficient to process.”

Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade is expected to happen next week

Sassano co-authored the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) with Ethereum core developer Ben Adams, and the pair are aiming to include it in Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade, expected in the first half of 2026.

Several Ethereum developers recently weighed in on the network’s recent increase to a 60 million gas limit, a move supported by more than 513,000 validators. Adams was one of those who said in an X post on Friday, “Remember when ‘double L1 gas’ sounded spicy on Twitter?”

“The Ethereum gas limit debate went from ‘too risky’ to ‘already live’ in under a year,” Adams said. Echoing a similar sentiment, Ethereum core developer Toni Wahrstätter said, “That’s a 2× increase in a single year — and it’s only the beginning.”

It comes ahead of a forthcoming major network upgrade, called Fusaka, which aims to improve Ethereum’s scalability. On Oct. 29, the upgrade made its way into the Hoodi testnet, the final step before its mainnet debut on Dec. 3.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

Wormhole token soars following tokenomics overhaul, W reserve launch

                                                                               Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle.                     Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
