Новое предложение Ethereum может достичь 2,000 транзакций в секунду

Эфириум’s scalability may be about to take a giant leap forward. A new Эфириум Improvement Proposal (EIP) from Эфириум Основание исследователь Данкрад Фейст может увеличить пропускную способность основной сети до 2,000 транзакций в секунду (TPS). 

The proposal, EIP-9698, outlines a predictable method for expanding the network’s gas limit, offering fresh hope for Эфириум’s long-term competitiveness.

EIP-9698: Дорожная карта устойчивого роста

Фейст представил EIP-9698 27 апреля. В предложении рекомендуется «детерминированный график роста лимита газа», начинающийся с эпохи 369017, ожидаемой примерно 1 июня. Вместо резких увеличений лимит газа будет постепенно увеличиваться в 10 раз в течение примерно двух лет, завершаясь одним финальным десятикратным увеличением.

This steady rise would give node operators and developers time to adapt to the changing network demands. According to Feist, this method aligns with anticipated improvements in hardware and Эфириум’s protocol efficiency. He emphasized that it would foster a sustainable and transparent path forward for Эфириумбазовый слой.

Эфириум clients would need to vote for the proposal before it can be activated. If approved, it could reshape Эфириум’s future, positioning it to handle far higher transaction volumes without relying solely on Layer 2 solutions.

Масштабирование Эфириум’s Mainnet to New Heights

Cегодня в Эфириум can process around 20 TPS during periods dominated by simple transactions. If the gas limit were raised 100-fold, as Feist’s proposal suggests, Эфириум could theoretically reach 2,000 TPS. This performance level would make Эфириум far more competitive with high-throughput blockchains like Solana, which handles between 800 and 1,050 non-vote TPS and boasts a theoretical maximum of 65,000 TPS.

Согласно предложению, Эфириум’s current gas limit of 36 million would expand to 3.6 billion. In practice, this could allow about 6,000 transactions to fit within each block—an extraordinary increase compared to today’s capabilities, per CoinTelegraph.

This vision comes on the heels of a February decision where Эфириум validators agreed to lift the gas limit from 30 million to 36 million. Prior to that, Эфириум's London hard fork in August 2021 doubled the gas limit from 15 million to 30 million.

Проблемы на пути к 2,000 TPS

Хотя предложение обещает значительные улучшения, оно также создаёт новые проблемы. Фейст признал, что быстрое масштабирование лимита газа может оказать давление на менее оптимизированные узлы и увеличить время распространения блоков. Однако план постепенного экспоненциального роста призван предоставить операторам узлов достаточно времени для подготовки.

EIP-9698 represents the latest in Эфириум’s ongoing efforts to scale at the base layer. In recent years, much of Эфириум’s scalability work has shifted toward Layer 2 solutions. However, critics argue that an overreliance on Layer 2s fragments the ecosystem, hurting user experience and creating isolated chains with limited interoperability.

By focusing once again on the mainnet, EIP-9698 aims to enhance scalability without sacrificing the cohesion that made Эфириум the leading smart contract platform.

Эфириум developer community is also pursuing additional initiatives to increase scalability. EIP-9678, part of the planned Fusaka hard fork, proposes a fourfold increase in Эфириум’s gas limit. Fusaka could go live as early as late 2025, offering another major capacity boost.

Meanwhile, the next big Эфириум upgrade, Pectra, is scheduled to launch in May. Pectra will deliver other enhancements but is not focused on increasing TPS as directly as EIP-9698 or EIP-9678.

Broader Developments: Grayscale Pushes for ETH Ставка на U.S.

В то время как Эфириум’s developers are working to scale the network, institutional players are pushing regulatory boundaries. Representatives from Grayscale Investments recently met with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force to advocate for allowing Эфириум exchange-traded products (ETPs) to engage in staking.

In the meeting, Grayscale outlined its request to amend filings for its Эфириум Доверие и Эфириум Mini Trust, aiming to permit staking activities. Grayscale argued that Uбазирующийся в США ETH ETPs have already missed out on about $61 million in staking rewards, a gap that hurts both shareholders and network participation.

Craig Salm, Grayscale’s chief legal officer, stressed that staking would not only provide returns for investors but also enhance the security and efficiency of the Эфириум blockchain.

Grayscale’s memorandum explained that allowing ETH ETPs to stake would ensure U.S. firms can compete with their non-U.S. counterparts that already engage in staking activities.
