Base

first >4m tx days and >25m tx week on @base — still day one 📈

Following last week's successful increase from 8.125Mgas/sec to 8.75Mgas/sec, @base is continuing to scale up performance and capacity to bring the world onchain by further boosting the per block gas target, tomorrow (July 24th), to 9.375Mgas/sec.

This will enable even more transactions on Base to process per block.

For most builders and users, no action is needed, but if you're running a Base Node, ensure you're ready for more increased activity from people using Base:

1. Monitor CPU and Disk I/O
2. Upgrade to NVMe SSDs for better throughput
3. Enhance CPU performance, focusing on single-core speed

And as always, you can join the Base Discord (https://base.org/discord) if you ever need help, just want to hang, have feedback or questions. 👍
