On November 25, $ETH , the Ethereum network completed a rather unremarkable but significant upgrade—the Block Gas limit jumped directly from 45 million to 60 million, a rise of 33%. Core researcher Toni confirmed on social media: "It has doubled in the past year and will continue to do so."

What does this mean? Simply put, it means that the "lanes" of the Ethereum mainnet have widened. Previously, when the network was congested, Gas fees would often soar to dozens of dollars. Now that the processing capacity has increased, theoretically, the congestion will ease, and transaction fees are expected to decrease.

From a market perspective, this upgrade has a significant impact:

The experience of on-chain applications will be better. DeFi protocols, NFT trading, and even inscriptions, these gas-consuming things, will run more smoothly, and the cost pressure will be reduced.

The fundamental value of Ethereum is being solidified. The expansion of capacity means it can support more transactions and applications, which is a positive in the long run.

Related sectors may benefit as well. Layer 2 solutions, decentralized storage, and middleware projects, which rely on the mainnet ecosystem, are likely to become active.

What should ordinary investors do? Here are a few suggestions:

Don't easily move your ETH base, short-term fluctuations are normal, but the long-term logic hasn't changed.

Pay attention to the Gas-sensitive sectors, especially the DeFi and NFT projects that have seen an increase in trading volume recently.

The Layer2 track is worth paying attention to, as the mainnet Gas has decreased, making their cost advantages more apparent.

To be honest, the ones who can truly seize opportunities are never those who chase highs and cut losses, but rather those who strategically position themselves and observe calmly. Will this upgrade trigger a new market trend? Time will provide the answer.

Do you think this wave of technological upgrades can drive the market?
