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)

this is a good thread from @bayardo on the current state of @base fees and path forward. he's nuanced and measured, as i'd expect our core protocol leader to be. 

i want to share a less nuanced perspective:

1. we need to scale the @base EVM >1000x
2. we need to do this with urgency
3. the time to start is right now

@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

Parallel seems a necessity in future L2s which don’t have heaps of L3 functionally achieving a similar result.

So L3s ? That doesn’t seem so quick at the moment.

Tbh a little surprised this is catching folks off guard, world have presumed scenarios were mapped out to suss pain points.

Happy success.
