Tom Wan, Head of Data at Entropy Advisors, stated that after the Fusaka upgrade, Blob Gas prices surged significantly, but the base fee remains as low as around $0.03. At the same time, the predictability and stability of Blob prices have been enhanced, which benefits L2 projects and institutional cost estimation.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently proposed the creation of a “trustless on-chain gas futures market,” aiming to allow users and developers to lock in future gas costs in advance to hedge against uncertainties caused by transaction fee volatility. This proposal quickly sparked heated discussions within the community and drew skepticism from several industry experts. Buterin stated on X that although Ethereum has significantly reduced network congestion through several recent scaling upgrades, users are still concerned about whether transaction fees will remain low over the next two years. He suggested establishing a system similar to a “base fee prediction market,” enabling users to pre-purchase gas for specific time periods and allowing the market to transparently reflect expectations for future gas fees. Gas fees have long experienced sharp fluctuations due to changes in network activity. During periods of high activity in NFTs, DeFi, or popular tokens, fees often spike rapidly, making it difficult for users to plan costs in advance. With Ethereum’s recent Fusaka upgrade, the block gas limit has been raised to 60 million and network structure has been optimized, leading to some easing of gas volatility, but the long-term trend remains uncertain.

PANews, December 8—AllScale has completed a seed round of financing of approximately $5 million, led by YZi Labs (EASY Residency S2), with participation from Informed Ventures and Generative Ventures, and has established an ecological partnership with BNB Chain. AllScale positions itself as a self-custodial stablecoin "neobank," targeting global micro-businesses and freelancers, offering stablecoin payment and receipt, invoicing and settlement tools, supporting account abstraction and LLM financial assistants. Its key features include a passkey wallet without mnemonic phrases and a multi-chain "paymaster" for gas-free, low-latency payments. The platform is already integrated with BNB.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed building a trustless on-chain gas futures market to address the long-standing issue of fee volatility on Ethereum. In a recent post on X, he stated that users and developers constantly ask whether Ethereum’s future fees will be manageable. Thus, he introduced this mechanism aimed at enhancing cost predictability by allowing users to lock in gas prices in advance. Buterin pointed out that on-chain gas futures would function similarly to traditional commodity futures markets, enabling users to purchase gas at a fixed price for a specified future period, thereby hedging against the risk of fee spikes. He explained that users could make “prepayments” for gas they intend to use in the future, which would make it easier for them to plan costs when executing large numbers of transactions or operating dApps, especially before periods of peak network demand.

According to Jinse Finance, Hasu, Lido's strategic advisor and Flashbots' strategy director, commented on Vitalik's call to establish an on-chain gas futures market on the X platform. He stated that the market lacks natural short sellers: a large number of users are inherently exposed to gas costs (short) and wish to hedge, but almost no one in the market is willing to take the long side on gas, so liquidity may be insufficient, making it difficult to form a meaningful market size. In response, Vitalik suggested that the protocol itself could act as the market's short seller, that is, by auctioning future base fees on-chain.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin mentioned the need for a reliable, trustless on-chain gas futures market to address the uncertainty of future gas fees. He pointed out that even though current fees are relatively low, there are still many concerns, and believes that a gas futures market could effectively solve these issues.

According to Gate News Bot on December 5, quoting CoinMarketCap data, as of press time, USTC (TerraClassicUSD) is trading at $0.01, up 10.33% in the past 24 hours, reaching a high of $0.01 and dipping to a low of $0.01. The current market cap is approximately $37.77 million, an increase of nearly $3.53 million from yesterday. TerraClassicUSD (USTC) originated as an algorithmic stable asset within the Terra ecosystem, designed to reflect the US dollar through a supply and demand balance with LUNA(, now LUNC). After collapsing in May 2022, USTC transitioned to a freely traded token with its price fluctuating according to market demand. USTC still plays a role in the Terra Classic network, powering DeFi pools and paying gas fees.

PANews, December 4—Vitalik Buterin stated that Ethereum will continue to enhance security and scalability through "hard invariants." He reviewed the 2021 EIP-2929/3529, which increased SLOAD costs and reduced refunds; the 2024 Dencun upgrade, which weakened SELFDESTRUCT; and the 2025 plan to set the single transaction limit to 16,777,216.

Jinse Finance reports that vitalik.eth posted on X, saying, "I always feel gratified to see everyone recognize protocol modifications that add hard fixed rules. These types of changes can both enhance protocol security and improve its adaptability for the future. 2021: Ethereum Improvement Proposals EIP-2929 and EIP-3529 (increasing gas fees for storage read operations and reducing gas refunds). 2024: Weakening of the self-destruct contract instruction (implemented with the Dencun upgrade). 2025: Setting a single transaction gas limit to 16,777,216. All of the above modifications establish various hard limits for the maximum processing capacity of a single block or transaction, which not only thoroughly avoids multiple denial-of-service attack risks but also simplifies client code, while opening up more feasible paths for improving system efficiency. I expect that the following still need to be promoted in the near future."

PANews, December 3—ETHGas has officially launched the Open Gas Initiative, offering a zero-code gas subsidy solution to help various protocols cover part of users' gas costs and create a smoother, lower-friction on-chain interaction experience.

Odaily News According to the latest encryption weekly report released by Gate Ventures, directly applying traditional short-term valuation models (such as short-term price-to-earnings ratios and revenue models) to blockchain networks can lead to systemic pricing errors. Due to the adoption curve of the encryption industry exhibiting exponential characteristics, the long-term growth potential of assets like ETH and SOL is still largely underestimated; market sentiment and linear thinking obscure their true growth potential. Currently, overall market sentiment remains weak, with BTC rising 4.07% last week and ETH rising 6.82%, while the fear and greed index still remains in the "extreme fear" range. In terms of ecological dynamics, Ethereum has raised the block Gas Limit to 60 million for Fusaka.

Ethereum supporter Anthony Sassano pointed out that the gas limit of Ethereum may increase three to five times in the coming year, aiming to support higher network activity efficiency by adjusting the transaction cost. He co-authored an Ethereum Improvement Proposal with developer Ben Adams, which plans to be incorporated into the Glamsterdam upgrade in the first half of 2026.

TSMC recently confirmed that its Fab 21 factory in Arizona experienced production disruptions in late September due to a power outage from a supplier. According to insider Tim Culpan, the outage forced the factory to scrap some wafers, but TSMC has not disclosed the specific number of losses or economic impact. A TSMC representative confirmed to Tom's Hardware that the power outage did occur but did not confirm whether it resulted in wafer losses. The power outage originated from the UK industrial gas supplier Linde, which is responsible for supplying critical materials to Fab 21. Although the Fab 21 plant itself did not experience a power cut (equipped with backup generators), the disruption in the supply of critical materials forced the plant to halt production for several hours and caused potential losses. TSMC in the US must rely on external suppliers to manage gas infrastructure, while in Taiwan it is managed internally, making Fab 21 more susceptible to supply chain disruptions.

Ethereum has formulated further scaling plans for 2026 after completing the Pectra upgrade in 2025. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X (formerly Twitter) that the block gas limit of Ethereum is expected to increase by 5 times next year, achieving a more "targeted rise" to enhance network throughput while keeping Layer 2 (L2) transaction costs low. The gas limit is a key parameter that determines the number of transactions each block can handle. Currently, Ethereum's gas limit per block is 60 million gas, which has doubled since the community's first call for an increase a year ago. Raising the gas limit allows more transactions to be packed into blocks, but heavy and inefficient operations can increase costs, thereby preventing nodes from being overloaded with data storage.

According to GasLimit.pics data, the Ethereum community has raised the block Gas limit from 45 million to 60 million under the joint efforts of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) users and developers. Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter announced on the X forum that this is the result of a year-long effort by the community, achieving a doubling of the Gas limit within a year. This adjustment will take effect automatically on November 25, with more than half of the validators voting in agreement, in accordance with the current Consensus rules of Ethereum.

PANews, November 26 news, Vitalik responded to Twitter user nikete, stating that while the Ethereum network plans to increase the Gas limit and the costs of inefficient operations, the actual selection of transactions in the block is still entirely determined by market mechanisms, "not following the Bitcoin model." He emphasized that the total Gas amount in a block is set by validators' voting, and many validators will refer to core developers' suggestions, but the final transaction selection is still determined by the free market.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that a more targeted scaling strategy will be adopted in the future, including raising the block gas limit and adjusting the gas costs of inefficient operations to promote the rise of Ethereum. Relevant adjustments are being developed for the upcoming upgrade.

BlockBeats reported that on November 26, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that "the Ethereum Gas limit is expected to continue to rise next year, but the growth targets are clearer, and the rate of increase will be reduced. For example, one possible future scenario is to increase the Gas limit by 5 times while raising the Gas cost for operations with relatively lower processing efficiency by 5 times."

According to BlockBeats news, on November 25, a cryptocurrency airdrop player continuously submitted failed transactions on the blockchain, ultimately burning all their MON airdrop token rewards worth over $112,000, spending it all on the Gas fees for the failed transactions. The wallet address "0x7f4" was originally allocated approximately $112,700 worth of Monad (MON) tokens for participating in the Monad ecosystem. However, due to submitting hundreds of failed on-chain transactions in subsequent operations, all transactions, even if failed, would deduct Gas, leading to the complete depletion of the airdrop rewards. On-chain signs indicate that the wallet owner may have used a script to send a large number of transactions in a short time without realizing that the initial few had already failed, resulting in all subsequent transactions failing and Gas continuously burning. Therefore, before making large transfers, one should conduct small test transactions.
