Vitalik Buterin proposes a significant increase in Ethereum’s L1 gas limit to improve security and usability as Layer 2 solutions develop. This scaling initiative will simplify cross-L2 asset transfers, particularly benefiting NFTs and ensuring user safety against governance issues.

The scaled capacity is expected to streamline the ERC20 token launch processes on L1, addressing governance risks on Layer 2 networks. Overall, the initiative seeks to enhance user experience and operational efficiency across Ethereum’s ecosystem.
