Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Ethereum validators have collectively raised the L1 block gas limit from 45M to 60M, roughly doubling base-layer transaction capacity versus a year ago. The change was enabled by protocol safeguards (EIP-7623), client optimizations, and testnet evidence that the network can safely handle larger blocks. It lands just days before the Fusaka hard fork, which introduces PeerDAS and further rollup throughput gains.
