PRIMER ON ETH GAS LIMIT RAISE

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The Ethereum gas limit is directly controlled by validators, who vote with each block to raise or lower it, bypassing the formal EIP process. Recently, core developers signaled support for raising the limit to 36m gas as a safe first step, with client updates facilitating the change, but there is frustration over the small increase and discussion about implementing more dynamic, scalable adjustments in the future.
