EIP‑7825 update: Ethereum core devs on ACDT #47 have rejected the proposal to raise the per‑transaction gas limit to 30M. The limit stays at 16M. Here’s what went down 👇

1/ EIP‑7825 proposes a hard cap on gas per transaction, aiming to improve network stability, enhance resource efficiency, and ensure predictable execution on Ethereum. This proposal is currently live on Fusaka devnets and under consideration for the Fusaka upgrade in November 2025. And it sparked serious debate among developers.

2/ The main question is why was it rejected? Core devs decided against raising it now because: • It could favor large, complex transactions over regular users. • They prefer to keep conservative defaults and give teams time to adapt. In short: the risks outweighed the benefits.

3/ The core developers concluded that raising the gas limit from 16M to 30M is not timely right now. This approach allows development teams to adjust while balancing Ethereum’s performance and security. Source:
