You can just build on L1.Evan Van Ness 🧉 (@EvanVanNess):Ethereum transaction fees are dirt cheap and have been for all of 2025Due to client optimizations and hard drives becoming cheaper, the gas limit ("block size") will continue to go up and keep tx fees cheapReturn To Mainnet! https://t.co/hu3PPJl3xK ...

I hope Zcash resists the dark hand of token voting.Token voting is bad in all kinds of ways (see https://t.co/Cvl7CFVgtc ); I think it's worse than Zcash's status quo.Privacy is exactly the sort of thing that will erode over time if left to the median token holder.Darklight Z 🛡️ (@DignityCipher):@naval @MindsFiction @zooko Markets are indeed plutocracies, which is exactly why they are terrible at preserving civil liberties.A plutocracy optimizes for 'number go up' in the short term.

Expect continued growth but more targeted / less uniform growth for next year.eg. one possible future is: 5x gas limit increase together with 5x gas cost increase for operations that are relatively inefficient to processPotential targets for such increases (my current view):* SSTORE when creating new storage* SSTORE in general (slightly)* Precompiles (all except elliptic curve stuff)* CALLs to contracts with large contract size* Some complex arithmetic opcodes (MODMUL maybe?)* Calldata (slightly)Toni Wahrst ...

RT Toni Wahrstätter ⟠ (@nero_eth)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.H/t to all client teams, the researchers involved, and to @nanexcool and @econoar for helping mobilize the effort.🔗 https://t.co/vrIl4EQZwr ...
