ON INCREASING THE BLOCK GAS LIMIT

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This post details a proposal to enhance Ethereum's efficiency by optimizing block size, chiefly by increasing the price for nonzero calldata bytes and the block gas limit. The changes aim to shrink and stabilize block size, facilitating further blobs addition and easing the transition to using blobs for data availability. It also prepares Ethereum for Verkle upgrades and reduces the risk of reorganizing blocks. Modification options called out in the post focus on varying calldata costs, introducing 2D pricing for calldata, and offering an 'EVM Loyalty Bonus'.
