Ethereum is set to raise its gas limit to 80 million on January 7, following the BPO hard fork. The change aims to improve transaction throughput and lower fees. Galaxy Digital’s Kim said Nethermind is ready, but Busa from the Ethereum Foundation stressed two client upgrades must be done first. The increase will allow more transactions and smart contract activity per block, supporting Ethereum’s role as a secure settlement layer. This is the third gas limit increase this year, with a goal of 180 million by 2026. For those asking **what is** Ethereum, it remains a key **crypto** network for decentralized apps and DeFi.
