According to online reports, Dankrad Feist, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, proposed EIP-9698 on April 27, planning to introduce a "deterministic gas cap growth plan" starting from epoch 369017 (around June 1). This is a four-year plan, and the proposal proposes that the limit will be gradually increased by a factor of 10 over the first two years (i.e., 164,250 epochs) until a final ten-fold increase is adjusted. In theory, if the gas limit is increased 100 times, Ethereum's TPS will be expected to increase to 2000. The proposal must be voted by the client before it can be implemented. This expansion attempt is another important development after the gas cap was raised from 30 million to 36 million in February. Feist pointed out that the progressive improvement plan can leave enough time for node operators to optimize. At the same time, developers are testing the EIP-9678 proposal and plan to increase the gas limit by four times in the Fusaka upgrade at the end of 2025.
