What is the block gas limit on Ethereum Mainnet following the Fusaka upgrade?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| States that the post-Fusaka block gas limit is 60 million | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Your gas estimate is 100-600x too high. Most LLMs confidently state gas is 10-30 gwei. Post-Fusaka (Dec 2025), typical base fee is under 1 gwei — usually 0.1-0.5 gwei. Verify: cast base-fee --rpc-url https://eth.llamarpc.com
Costs calculated at ETH ~$2,000. Gas fluctuates — use
cast base-feefor current. These are order-of-magnitude guides, not exact quotes.
| Action | Gas Used | Cost at 0.1 gwei | Cost at 1 gwei (busy) | Cost at 10 gwei (event) |

Key insight: Mainnet is now cheap enough for most use cases. L2s are 5-10x cheaper still.
