WuShuo has learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X that several “hard rules” have been introduced to improve protocol security and future adaptability: in 2021, EIP-2929/3529 increased storage read costs and reduced gas refunds; in 2024, Dencun weakened SELFDESTRUCT; in 2025, a single transaction gas limit will be set at 16,777,216. He also proposed future directions: setting a cap on the number of code bytes accessible per transaction, imposing limits and repricing for ZK-EVM prover cycles, and adjusting memory pricing to clarify the EVM's maximum memory consumption limit.
