PANews reported on January 29 that Consensys, a blockchain infrastructure and technology company, published a statement on X: “In order for Ethereum to achieve its goal of becoming the most decentralized world computer, we need to expand the base layer while advancing the L2 roadmap.

Consensys and MetaMask validators, along with more than 40% of Ethereum validators, support raising the gas limit. This means more transactions or more complex transactions can be included in each block, which will reduce gas costs and transaction confirmation delays in the short term and allow developers to build more complex applications in the long term.”
