Set max gas limit on Mainnet about juno HOT 8 CLOSED

I'll pick this up and look into it.

from juno.

This worked and mitigated the attack vector on testnet, so we need to implement on mainnet.

Awesome, will leave this open as a reminder until it passes. We should do some more testing to make sure we set it high enough to run contracts like JunoSwap and DAO DAO.

The gas used in attack was 2'163'370'243, I think the max_gas can be increased , to allow more txs

Okay, so I don't think we should hard code something programmatically. I think we can use governance and propose a sensible number. .ConsensusParams.Block.MaxGas is the param we're after.

Reveals that it is currently set to:

value: '{"max_bytes":"22020096","max_gas":"-1"}'

Going to try this on testnet:

  "description": "To mitigate potential attacks against the network, we need to set a max per block gas ceiling.",
  "changes": [{
    "subspace": "baseapp",
    "key": "BlockParams",
    "value": {
      "max_bytes": "22020096",
      "max_gas": "40000000"
    }
  }],
  "deposit": "100000000ujunox"
}

from juno.

We have maxed out tx on testnet with just a few tx spammers. So we can simulate load on the network during SC testing, going to double max gas per block.

      "max_gas": "80000000"
    }
  }],
  "deposit": "100000000ujunox"
}

Note for future: mainnet prop for this was initially 100,000,000
