以太坊EIP-9698引入了确定性气体极限增长模型，旨在在四年内将TPS增加100倍

以太坊基金会研究员Dankrad Feist推出了EIP-9698，这是一项旨在通过在四年内将以太坊气体限制提高100倍来扩展网络的建议。

Ethereum (ETH) researcher Dankrad Feist has proposed Ethereum EIP-9698, which aims to scale the network by increasing the Ethereum gas limit by 100 times over four years. If implemented, this proposal could potentially raise Ethereum’s capacity to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).

以太坊（ETH）研究人员Dankrad Feist提出了EIP-9698，该EIP-9698的目的是通过在四年内将以太坊气体限制提高100倍来扩展网络。如果实施，该提案可能会将以太坊的能力提高到每秒2,000笔交易（TPS）。

Currently, Ethereum processes around 14-20 TPS with a 36 million gas limit, according to YCharts. The network’s theoretical maximum stands near 119 TPS. In contrast, Solana processes 800 to over 1,000 TPS, with a theoretical capacity of 65,000 TPS.

YCHARTS称，目前，以太坊的过程约为14-20 tps，其气体限制为3600万。网络的理论最大值接近119 TP。相比之下，Solana处理了800至1,000多个TP，理论能力为65,000 TP。

The Ethereum EIP-9698 plan suggests expanding the Ethereum gas limit to 3.6 billion, allowing approximately 6,000 transactions per block. This expansion would commence from epoch 369017, anticipated around June 1, 2025.

以太坊EIP-9698计划表明，将以太坊气体限制扩大到36亿，每块大约6,000笔交易。这一扩展将从2025年6月1日左右的Epoch 369017开始。

How the Ethereum Gas Limit Expansion Works in EIP-9698

以太坊气体限制在EIP-9698中如何工作

This proposal introduces a deterministic gas limit growth model, where Ethereum clients would automatically vote to increase the gas limit unless manually adjusted. This model sets a schedule for exponential gas limit increments at every beacon chain epoch.

该提案引入了确定性的气体限制增长模型，除非手动调整，否则以太坊客户将自动投票以增加气体限制。该模型为每个标准链时期时期设置了指数限制增量的时间表。

The gas limit would grow by a factor of 10 approximately every 164,250 epochs, which equals about two years. Over four years, the model would achieve a 100-fold gas limit expansion, bringing Ethereum TPS 2000 closer to reality.

气体极限将大约每164,250个时期增长10倍，大约两年。在四年的时间里，该模型将实现100倍的气体限制扩展，使以太坊TPS 2000更接近现实。

"The current gas limit mechanism relies on miner/operator voting, which lacks coordination and predictability. By introducing a predictable exponential growth pattern as a client default, this EIP encourages a sustainable and transparent gas limit trajectory, aligned with expected advancements in hardware and protocol efficiency," stated Feist.

“当前的气体限制机制依赖于矿工/运营商的投票，该投票缺乏协调性和可预测性。通过引入可预测的指数增长模式作为客户默认值，该EIP鼓励可持续且透明的气体限制轨迹，与硬件和协议效率的预期进步保持一致。”

This shift would make gas limit adjustments more systematic compared to the current operator-led voting, which Feist noted often results in stagnation or slow changes.

与当前的运营商主导的投票相比，这种转变将使气体限制调整更加系统，Feist通常会导致停滞或缓慢的变化。

Backward Compatibility and Node Security for Ethereum EIP-9698

以太坊EIP-9698的向后兼容性和节点安全性

Ethereum EIP-9698 is a non-consensus change and maintains full backward compatibility. Nodes that do not adopt the new default behavior will continue operating normally. Clients can still manually adjust settings if preferred.

以太坊EIP-9698是一种非同意的变化，并保持了完全的向后兼容性。不采用新默认行为的节点将继续正常运行。如果首选，客户仍然可以手动调整设置。

Feist addressed concerns about network security, highlighting that sudden gas limit increases could strain less-optimized nodes and slow block propagation. However, the gradual schedule is designed to give developers and operators time to adapt.

Feist解决了对网络安全性的担忧，强调了突然的气体限制增加可能会引起较不优化的节点和缓慢的块传播。但是，逐渐的时间表旨在使开发人员和运营商有时间适应。

"The exponential schedule with very gradual increments per epoch gives node operators and developers ample time to adapt and optimize," he added.

他补充说：“每个时期的逐渐增量的指数时间表为节点运算符和开发人员提供了足够的时间来适应和优化。”

This cautious growth pattern aims to support scaling without exposing the network to unnecessary risks.

这种谨慎的增长模式旨在支持扩展，而不会使网络面临不必要的风险。

The discussion around Ethereum EIP-9698 comes as the Pectra upgrade, set to go live next week, focuses on enhancing throughput, reducing Layer 1 transaction fees, and increasing validator flexibility. It also improves data storage efficiency, aiming to make Layer 2 scaling solutions more effective. These changes complement efforts like Ethereum EIP-9698, which target higher throughput upgrades on the mainnet.

围绕以太坊EIP-9698的讨论是随着Pectra升级的下周进行的，专注于增强吞吐量，减少1层交易费用以及提高验证器的灵活性。它还提高了数据存储效率，旨在使第2层扩展解决方案更有效。这些变化补充了以太坊EIP-9698的工作，该工作针对的是主网上较高的吞吐量升级。

At the same time, Ethereum developers are exploring structural improvements, including a separate discussion proposing to replace Ethereum’s EVM with RISC-V architecture for long-term scalability.

同时，以太坊开发人员正在探索结构性改进，其中包括提议用RISC-V架构替代以太坊EVM的单独讨论，以实现长期可扩展性。
