Abstract

This proposal introduces a protocol-level cap on the maximum gas usage per transaction to 16,777,216 (2^24) gas. By implementing this limit, Ethereum can enhance its resilience against certain DoS vectors, improve network stability, and provide more predictability to transaction processing costs, especially in the context of increasing the gas limit.
