Base

1/ TL;DR of higher fees on @base (+ what we're doing):

- we shipped 4844 and reduced L1 DA costs to ~0
- lower fees induced >5x more demand
- our gas target is relatively low (~2.5 mgas/s)
- so blocks are above target -> fees are rising

lower fees is our P0, and we are on it

PSA: @base is seeing way high demand and increased fees

positive update coming later today from core team - full plan below

thank you for the hard work!

Jesse, we really need to find a way to lower the gas fees🙏

Here for it, seems very obvious that Base Season is now in full effect

P0 in my field means that the CEO is getting briefed on the matter, in some situations multiple times a day.

Ketchup Catsup?

Don’t get me wrong @jessepollak I’m a fan of all of this and look forward to the update. I’m just a curious humansperson.

Great to know! I was floored to see $10+ network fees! Adore @base.

chain literally died for 12 hours when a seal deriv minted on there kek

sappy seals showed up and maxed out base fees but at least base didn’t break like cardano did when the seals showed up

Pretty sure ROOST was the cause today. Bullish base!

Whew, thought I was on mainnet for a moment. Love to see the network being used!

The “higher fees” are still lower than ETH mainnet on its best day

No stress

Some people are upset about the fees without realizing how incredibly bullish this massive network usage is!
