Base

Tomorrow (July 16th), Base is boosting the per block gas target from 8.125Mgas/sec to 8.75Mgas/sec as part of continued scaling efforts to make Base as fast, cheap, and easy to use as possible for people around the world.

For builders and Base users no changes are necessary -- but if you're running a Base Node and see it falling behind with continued increased network activity from more people using Base:

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

You can also stop by the Base Discord (https://base.org/discord) if you have any questions and we'll help you there! 👍

The @base core team has just successfully increased the gas target 🎯

We're going higher together
