This request is to increase the gas limit per transaction from the current 100,000 limit.

Why

In many DEFI/ETH contracts, there are several contract calls made for just 1 transaction. Eth has a gas limit per block, not per transaction which allows for more calls in a single transaction without throwing an exception.

An example of this is Uniswap contracts, that can make on average about 8-10 calls for a single hop swap. Multi-hop swaps add even more to this amount on calls between contracts for a single transaction.

Stratis Smart Contracts costs 10,000 gas to call another contract, 10% of the total gas limit. There is only enough to do about 7 calls per transaction safely when considering other gas costs of methods.

This heavily limits the amount of work / integrations that can work with Stratis Smart Contracts.

Proposal

At minimum, double the Gas Limit per transaction to 200,000. Thinking longer term, DEFI, and Stratis Smart Contract integrations, 250,000 - 500,000 would be a better limit however, I realize this may reduce the Cirrus TPS amongst other things.
