Ethereum Improvement Proposal 7983 (EIP-7983) promotes fair gas distribution by rejecting transactions that exceed the 16.77 million gas limit, preventing block monopolization and ensuring consistent validation times

Quotes that support claims

This would prevent any single transaction from monopolising block space and ensure a more even distribution of gas consumption across transactions. Transactions that specify a gas limit exceeding 16.77 million would be rejected during block validation, making them ineligible for inclusion in new blocks.

The limit would also ensure that gas is allocated fairly across transactions in a block, the proposal stated. The cap is also expected to make the validation of blocks “more predictable and uniform.
