Ethereum EIP-7983: 16.77M Gas Limit to Boost Security
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and researcher Toni Wahrstätter don propose EIP-7983 wey sabi introduce per-transaction gas cap of 16.77 million units. Dis Ethereum gas cap na to stop any single transaction from use all of block gas allowance, e go reduce DoS attack risk and improve network security. Transactions wey pass the 16.77 million limit no go pass validation or mempool level, dis one go make gas fee dey predictable and block go perform well without changing the adjustable block gas limit. Dis gas cap go also improve compatibility with zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs) and parallel execution engines by breaking big operations into small, verifiable chunks. Developers dey expect say EIP-7983 go make engineering work easy, make execution steady and stop resource monopolization. Most DeFi and DApp transactions dey well below the limit, but big deployments fit need to split transactions. E dey build on top the earlier EIP-7825 and now the draft dey open for community feedback, e align Ethereum roadmap toward modular, provable systems.
Neutral
By capping gas per transaction for 16.77M, EIP-7983 dey make Ethereum netwok secure plus fees dey more predictable without changing the total block gas limit. For short time, traders go benefit from better fee forecasts and smoother block times, fit reduce wahala wey dey around high-gas transactions. Long term, better zkVM compatibility and resource fairness go help make the ecosystem grow. Since this change no affect token supply or consensus mechanics, e direct price impact for ETH fit be neutral.
