A new Ethereum proposal by Vitalik Buterin and Toni Warstetter aims to impose strict limits on the amount of gas a transaction can use. The developers claim that this move could improve the stability of the network and make the blockchain more suitable for certain applications.
EIP-7983 proposes to limit individual transactions to 16,777,216 gas units (2²⁴) – a drastic change from the current system, which allows a single transaction to consume the entire gas of a block.
