Happy holidays from the Base team - the gas target is now at 20Mgas/s! This is a final push before the Base team (and all of Coinbase) takes 2 weeks to rest & recharge for the holidays. Lots of exciting things to come in 2025.

Decentralization is THE core value of crypto. The censorship resistance provided by decentralization promotes more equitable access to information and resources, in contrast to the restrictions that often characterizes today's world. A bit of my personal journey: 7 months ago I switched from eng to product on the Base team to focus on our decentralization roadmap - the first thing I did in my new role was put together this diagram of everything we needed to do to get to Stage 1. It's been a long and complex journey, but I could not be more proud of the team and our collaboration with @optimism to get Fault Proofs live. Onwards to Stage 1!
Base has achieved Stage 1 Decentralization, a major step forward in building an open and global onchain economy. With fault proofs live and a decentralized Security Council now in place, Base meets the Stage 1 requirements. Base is for everyone - our team is focused on continually making progress towards this reality! https://base.mirror.xyz/tWDMlGp48fF0MeADcLQruUBq1Qxkou4O5x3ax8Rm3jA
