Base Unveils 2024 Expansion Roadmap With Increased Gas Targets

According to BlockBeats, on September 5, Base released a blog post detailing its 2024 expansion roadmap. Since its launch, Base has increased its per-block gas target from 2.5 Mgas/s to 10 Mgas/s, resulting in a fourfold increase in throughput. Starting at the end of September, Base has committed to increasing the gas target by 1 Mgas/s each week, with the potential to accelerate this to 2 Mgas/s per week in the future. Additionally, Base is actively involved in the development of PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), which is part of Ethereum's upcoming Pectra upgrade. The Base team advocates for a significant increase in blob capacity alongside the activation of PeerDAS to support larger-scale expansion. To ensure fair network compensation, Base suggests raising the minimum blob fees or implementing a new blob data fee mechanism.
