Block Capacity Expanded as ETH Shows Bullish Momentum
The post Block Capacity Expanded as ETH Shows Bullish Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum Ethereum has entered a pivotal stretch in both its technical development and its market performance. While developers prepare the network for a major capacity boost, traders are watching price charts for signs of a breakout — and both timelines are beginning to converge. Key Takeaways: Ethereum expanded its base-layer block capacity by 33% while preparing for the December Fusaka upgrade. Record Layer-2 activity above 31,000 TPS has increased demand for more settlement space on the mainnet. ETH trades near $3,029 with improving momentum on RSI and MACD as analysts watch for a potential next move upward. The network’s block gas allowance — the mechanism that determines how much activity fits into each block — has been increased by 33% to 60 million, marking Ethereum’s most significant base-layer expansion since 2021. The decision was implemented through validator coordination rather than a hard fork and arrives just ahead of December’s Fusaka upgrade, which is expected to deliver additional performance refinements. Just a year after the community started pushing for higher gas limits, Ethereum is now running with a 60M block gas limit. That’s a 2× increase in a single year — and it’s only the beginning.

L2 activity reaches unprecedented highs The timing of the expansion aligns with a surge in rollup traffic. The collective throughput of Layer-2 networks recently peaked at over 31,000 TPS, highlighting just how much execution has shifted off-chain.The highest performer was Lighter, a ZK rollup for perpetual trading, which exceeded 5,400 TPS, with Base and other rollups contributing steady output.…
