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! 👍

Sorry but what are these nodes doing? Just sync the data or something else?

Trying to understand this more - when you say you're raising gas/sec targets, what you're referring to is raising the block gas limit yes? And if block utilization (% of block gas used) stays flat then there's more gas used per second. Is that how you think about it? Why do you quote mgas/s or goal of ggas/s instead of the block gas limit when you directly control the latter but not the former?
