Base

Tomorrow is another Wednesday which means an important thing on @base -- it's pump day :) Base is pumping up the per-block gas target from 12 to 13 Mgas/s.

Gas target increases happen every Wednesday and are part of continued, planned scaling efforts to bring a billion people onchain, and to make Base as fast and as inexpensive for everyone around the world to use as possible.

For builders and almost all Base users, no changes are necessary. But if you're running a Base Node and notice any latency after the increase:

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

If you need help, have questions, or just want to hang out, don't hesitate to come visit the node-operators channel in the Base Discord.
