Summarize main points of Scaling @base plan as below:
- Base is doubling its gas limit (from 75 to 150 Mgas/s) to support scaling, targeting sub-cent transaction fees.
- Migrating all nodes and sequencers to Reth client for faster performance.
- Launching TrieDB soon for 8-10x faster state access.
- Expanding L1 data availability with PeerDAS (live in December); blobs will double again in early 2026.
- Upgrading resource metering at protocol level for better congestion control.
- Fault proof system is now optimized with multi-threading and 64-bit—no longer a scaling bottleneck.
- Fees dropped from ~30 cents to sub-cent; 99.9% blocks build in under 2 seconds.
- Goal: scale Base to support 1 billion onchain users, keep fees low, and transaction speed high.
