About Increasing the Block Gas Limit

y increasing the block gas limit and the price for nonzero calldata bytes, a smaller and less variable block size can be achieved, making space to add more blobs in the future.

This post is all about increasing the block gas limit and reducing the maximum block size to make more space for blobs while strengthening the multidimensional fee market.

By increasing the block gas limit and the price for nonzero calldata bytes, a smaller and less variable block size can be achieved, making space to add more blobs in the future.

Increasing the price for nonzero calldata reduces the maximum possible block size. At the same time, the block gas limit could be raised to make more space for regular transactions.

This further incentivizes the transition to using blobs for data availability, strengthening the multidimensional fee market by reducing competition between calldata and blobs.

It slows down history growth, which might be preferable in preparing for the Verkle upgrades.

This will determine where rollups will post their data. If they all switch to using blobs, then the cost for blobspace increases, while L1 gas costs might decrease.
