Vitalik Co-initiates EIP-7983 Proposal to Enhance Network Resistance to DoS Attacks

Foresight News reports that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Toni Wahrstätter have jointly proposed EIP-7983, suggesting that the gas limit for a single Ethereum transaction be set at 16.77 million (independent of the block gas limit). The aim is to enhance the network’s resistance to DoS attacks, alleviate issues such as load imbalance, state bloat, and block validation delays caused by high-gas transactions, and at the same time optimize zkVM compatibility and parallel execution efficiency. The proposal is currently in the draft stage.
