Ethereum's core development team has decided to move forward with a different approach. EIP-7907, which would have massively expanded the contract size limit through an innovative metering system, has been shelved. Instead, the focus has shifted to EIP-7954 for the upcoming Dencun upgrade, implementing a more conservative 32kb contract size limit—representing a solid 33% increase from the current threshold.
It's not the aggressive expansion some were hoping for, but honestly? This is a meaningful step forward. The increased headroom gives developers more flexibility for complex smart contracts while maintaining reasonable network performance parameters. The pragmatic approach reflects the careful balance between innovation and stability that Ethereum's development community continues to strike.

Once again, the conservatives won, and 7907 was directly cut off. Funny.

Another postponement plan, this time it's EIP-7907... where's the promised big scalability?

Here comes the conservative plan again; is this the Ethereum style?

A 33% increase still isn't enough. Why not just double it directly?

It's another compromise plan. 7907 was directly frozen, which feels a bit unfortunate.
