Growth & Scalability - Industry anticipates continued growth, but expects it to be more targeted and less uniform in the coming year [1] - A potential future scenario involves a 5x increase in gas limit, coupled with a 5x increase in gas cost for relatively inefficient operations [1] - Ethereum's block gas limit has already doubled (2x increase) within a single year, reaching 60 million [1] Optimization Targets - Focus areas for optimization include SSTORE operations (when creating new storage and in general), precompiles (excluding elliptic curve functions), CALLs to contracts with large sizes, complex arithmetic opcodes (possibly MODMUL), and calldata [2]
