Overview
- EIP-7825 will enforce a per-transaction ceiling of 2^24 gas (≈16,777,216) when Fusaka activates.
- The cap is already live on Holesky and Sepolia, with the final public test on Hoodi slated for Oct. 28 before a Dec. 3 mainnet target.
- The Ethereum Foundation says the rule does not change the block gas limit, countering reports that suggest a rise to roughly 60 million.
- Developers are urged to test and refactor batch-heavy workflows, update gas-estimation logic, and re-sign any transactions that exceed the new threshold.
- All major clients—Geth, Erigon, Reth, Nethermind, and Besu—have shipped Fusaka-ready releases.
