Base

Regarding Base transaction fees: they are high because the chain is at its target capacity (2x the throughput of the L1), but demand has increased dramatically. Data fees remain insignificant thanks to EIP-4844 blobs which are still far from capacity!  So while "it could be worse..." what can make it better? (cont)

I was starting to get frustrated just now trying to get ETH to base is so expensive and even buying USDC on base I need ETH to swap. I'm glad there's thought being put into removing obstacles.
