BNB Smart Chain raises block gas limit to 70M
- —Target block gas limit is being raised from 55 million to 70 million
- —After Pasteur, gas per block rose by an average of 28%, with peak blocks at 43.8 million
- —BidBlock V2 processes about 98% of the network's blocks
- —Network utilization exceeds 95%, risking higher fees and delays
Why it matters: Higher BSC throughput reduces the risk of congestion and fees, but increases the load on validators and the risk of centralization.
