Base

we just raised the @base gas target to 8.75 MGas/s

more capacity, more transactions, cheaper fees

one step closer to 1 Ggas/s

Tomorrow (July 16th), Base is boosting the per block gas target from 8.125Mgas/sec to 8.75Mgas/sec as part of continued scaling efforts to make Base as fast, cheap, and easy to use as possible for people around the world.

For builders and Base users no changes are necessary -- but if you're running a Base Node and see it falling behind with continued increased network activity from more people using Base:

1. Monitor CPU and Disk I/O usage
2. Enhance disk throughput and use disks with lower read/write latency (NVMe SSDs recommended)
3. Improve CPU, focusing on single-core speed

You can also stop by the Base Discord (https://base.org/discord) if you have any questions and we'll help you there! 👍

For a blockchain normie,

How much is 1Ggas in $?

Very cool - how do you decide what increments to use? Like why not jump to 9.25 mgas, or xx.xx etc?

Please do see a doctor if too much gas for a longer time 😆

lfbaaaase! You guys have been cooking on the back end. 🧑‍🍳 🍳

Is there a dev log history of changes like gas limits, pricing, block size, etc that anyone can easily check? Would make dune charts more contextual when we look historically at the data

Base is the chain that never sleeps. The best is getting even better. Bitcoin on Base is excited about everything your team is doing to improve the experience for everyone!!!

This is what’s going to make people make the jump, just have to prove it to them.

nos estamos basando ya es hora de la era onchain

Sir, I have a question. 
How much is 1 Ggas? ($)
