Base network commits to increasing the gas target by 1 Mgas/s weekly starting at the end of September

ChainCatcher news, Base has published a blog post detailing its 2024 scaling roadmap. Since its launch, Base has increased its gas target per block from 2.5 Mgas/s to 10 Mgas/s, achieving a fourfold increase in throughput.

Starting from the end of September, Base has committed to increasing the gas target by 1 Mgas/s each week, with the possibility of accelerating to 2 Mgas/s per week in the future.

Base is actively involved in the development of PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), which is part of Ethereum's upcoming Pectra upgrade. The Base team calls for a significant increase in blob capacity alongside the activation of PeerDAS to support larger-scale scaling. To ensure fair compensation for the network, Base suggests raising the minimum blob fee or implementing a new charging mechanism for blob data.
