Base

Tomorrow is another pump day on Base; the core engineering team is increasing the per block gas target from 16.5 to 18 Mgas/s ⬆️

Core team @base • Former maintainer: bitcoin.org • Editor: Mastering Bitcoin & Mastering Ethereum • Developer: github.com/wbnns

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

You can also stop by the node-operators channel in the Base Discord if you have any questions and we'll be happy to help you there
