During the last few days Ethereum's miners began to increase the gas limit on the transaction confirmation, which can be used to improve the network's transaction capacity. This decision was taken as a result of the congestion registered during the last weeks in the blockchain of Ethereum.
It is important to remember that the term "gas" describes computational power units in Ethereum . This means that the sender of a transaction will pay a cost for performing computational steps in a transaction or message that trigger the execution of a smart contract. Therefore, a higher gas limit implies that more transactions can be made.
