According to Gate.io News bot, as reported by Wu, Ethereum validators have approved an increase of the Gas Limit to 36M through on-chain voting.
@Data_Always's data analysis shows that after this adjustment, the median Gas usage of MEV-Boost blocks built by external builders has increased by about 3M, and the frequency of full blocks has risen. The Gas usage of Vanilla blocks built locally by validators has remained basically unchanged, while the Gas usage of Recovery blocks (MEV-Boost blocks after Vanilla blocks) has increased by 4-6M.
In response to the challenges faced by local builders, the community has proposed several technical solutions: EIP-7872 suggests setting a maximum blob count limit for local builders; introducing a gas usage Flag mechanism to support local builders in limiting the gas usage of blocks; EIP-7623 proposes controlling the execution layer load by adjusting the calldata costs.
