Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants to dramatically boost the network's capacity by increasing its gas limit—potentially by 10 to 100 times. This comes after a breakthrough in real-time proving tech by Succinct Labs, which could make such a jump feasible. Buterin addressed skepticism about the idea, hinting at big scalability upgrades ahead.

What This Mean: Gas limits cap how much activity Ethereum can handle at once—raising them could mean faster, cheaper transactions. But it's a tricky balance: too high, and the network might get sluggish; too low, and users pay sky-high fees. Buterin's optimism suggests Ethereum's tech is maturing, but skeptics will want details on how this won’t compromise decentralization or security. For crypto users, this could be a game-changer—if it works.
