Ethereum core developers agreed to target a 200 million gas limit floor following the Glamsterdam network upgrade, a significant increase made possible by three interlocking improvements: ePBS, which restructures block construction to give execution more time per slot; Block-Level Access Lists, which give clients the throughput headroom to handle larger blocks; and EIP-8037, which raises the cost of writing new state so higher throughput doesn't cause state bloat.

The decision came out of Soldøgn Interop, a week-long gathering of over 100 core contributors held in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Teams also stabilized multi-client ePBS implementations with external builders running end-to-end, and locked in final EIP-8037 repricing numbers. Final figures will be confirmed on upcoming AllCoreDevs calls. Progress was also made on features targeting Hegotá, Ethereum's next planned upgrade.
