Increase In Block Size

With the increase in the block size, we can have more transactions inserted in one block. A participant wouldn’t have to wait for their transaction to be part of the chain for long.

Bitcoin blocks were originally hard-capped at 1 MB, or around 2020 transaction. As transactions were keep growing, so do the block size, eventually exceeding any limit set. Although the bitcoin has increased its cap per block, Ethereum doesn’t hold any maximum block size cap.
Once block size changes, there will be a fork in Blockchain, but this does not provide a permanent fix.
