OP Stack

Base

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

shared my perspective on scaling @base - would love thoughts from other /op-stack teams. 

one superteam, one superdream: scaling the superchain.

Definitely need to figure out ways to increase gas limits if you want strong, onchain guarantees as a standard for new finance. 

We've always pushed the boundaries at Lyra wrt gas, performing critical, comp-heavy Black Scholes calculations onchain.

We pushed the limits on OP mainnet in 2021, and even now with our own OP stack we had to make some tradeoffs that I'd prefer not to have made. Would be even worse if we were sharing that gas limit w/ thousands of other teams.
