In the end I did just release the report, here is a tweet containing every bit of detail that we put together on P2P storms: > [@Proposal for Doubling the Max Gas Block Parameter from 120,000,000 to 240,000,000](https://forum.osmosis.zone/t/proposal-for-doubling-the-max-gas-block-parameter-from-120-000-000-to-240-000-000/1072/11): > > I support this proposal, along with another proposal that I’m about to write that reduces block size but not as much as the one I wrote earlier, here: @JohnnyWyles are you saying that currently we cannot adjust baseapp parameters? Because I would like to do well a proposal that does exactly that. @czarcas7ic I’m in support of increasing block gas because indeed, we can put more txns in em. At the same time I would like to reduce the maximum block size to 4mb, not the 1mb I proposed earlier. … I can say conclusively that this is what was used recently to exploit @madcapslaugh’s Levana. At Osmosis we love dragons. Informal won’t protect them, we have to do it ourselves. I just spoke with @JohnnyWyles, he mentioned that @ValarDragon is suggesting five megabytes as a decent block size and I agree – 5mb sounds great. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.osmosis.zone/t/reduce-maximum-block-size-to-1mb/417)._
