Base

we aligned internally today that our medium term scaling goal is to target 1 Ggas/s on @base 

our current target is 2.5 mgas/s, so ~400x, with a long term goal of pushing even further past >1000x

it's pronounced "gigagas" and this is our broadband moment

What's your OKR for managing state growth and ensuring full nodes can stay synced with the network on consumer hardware?

Throughput is great, but you're just big blocking unless you have a plan for staying decentralized

Appreciate the response and thank you to my sparring partner @shazow.eth for keeping me honest :)

we haven't set that explicitly yet, but managing state growth is a top priority and one of the two key considerations as we're thinking about increasing our gas target (alongside just ensuring that nodes can keep up). love the conversation you prompted below - keep sharing thoughts!

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Are you suggesting that nobody besides the sequencer should need to run a full node for the L2?

Isn't this conflating decentralization requirements of L1's? It's important for an L1 to be runnable on consumer hardware because there isn't another chain to fall back to when things go wrong. L2's have that luxury, so we can make more generous assumptions (like ignoring full state transition history).
