Ethereum Educator Says 180M Gas Limit Is “Just the Minimum,” Not the Goal

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano believes the network’s newly stated gas limit target of 180 million for 2026 is only a baseline — not the ceiling.

Speaking on the Bankless podcast, Sassano said the core developer community aims for at least a 3x increase in the gas limit over the next few years. Some researchers are already floating a potential 5x boost within 12 months.

This comes just after Ethereum raised its gas limit from 45M to 60M, a major shift supported by over 513,000 validators.

180M sounds big, but the roadmap clearly aims much higher.

Bullish continuation likely if buyers step in on dips.
