Block Gas Limit | The maximum amount of gas available in a block. | 30,000,000 | Blocks include transactions that have a cumulative gas usage of less than or equal to the Block Gas Limit. |
Block Gas Target | Deviation from this target will adjust the base fee in the subsequent block. | Block Gas Limit / 2 | If the size of the current block is above or below this target, then the base fee of the next block increase or decrease up to the Base Fee Rate of Change. |
Base Fee Rate of Change | The maximum rate to adjust the base fee, increasing it when the network is congested and decreasing it when it's under-utilized, to maintain an equilibrium of block space demand i.e. the Block Gas Target. See EIP-1559. | 2% | The gas cost of a transaction will increase or decrease up to this rate depending on how congested the chain is. |
Block Period | The minimum time transactions are sealed into a child chain block. | 2 seconds | This is a key input to block finality. |
