Base Chain's gas limit is now at 100 Mgas/s. Higher.

GM everybody! Today is the first day of Frontiers, our annual open source conference for application and infrastructure devs. We kick off with me interviewing @tkstanczak, co executive director of the Ethereum Foundation about..Ethereum! We start at 6:30p sharp. See you there!

we have successfully rescued 130+ ETH that was mistakenly sent to our Ethereum Mainnet bridge address on Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum. we recovered the ETH and returned it to the accounts that sent it originally. I'm sharing links below to the block explorer for each chain, so

Over the past few months, I've been building the kona-node along with my teammates on the Rust Team at @OPLabsPBC. Today, we are excited to officially release the first major version of the kona-node: an L2 consensus node also called a rollup node. https://t.co/flQrNiVGY0

@smyyguy @web3_data @0xBreadguy Rising/reflexive base fees are always better than priority fee auctions for ordinary users, as users must pay 100% of their priority fees but only the current base fee. If a user is willing to pay 1c, it's better to pay significantly less most of the time.

Excited to share what the Base team has been cooking up soon™️

Frontiers by @Paradigm update! Aug 6-8 SF. Day 2 is looking 🔥🔥🔥 . Not 1, not 2, but 3 talks on high performance! - "Hyperoptimizing Reth" by @ashekhirin & @Rjected - “Scaling Ethereum's State Trie” by @brianisbland - "Scaling Ethereum L1" by @adietrichs. Apply below!

its just efficiency kind of like how chocolate milk is better than whole milk because it's harder to tell if it's gone bad, so it lasts longer https://t.co/yP7T5sQxT7

As Base grows, we’re seeing breakout apps that are bringing 10x more traffic to the network. We've sustained sub 5 cent fees during record traffic; Such as 1.5k transactions per second during @virtuals_io token launches We'll keep scaling as apps keep growing on @base 🫡 Read

Today, we introduce a new thesis: MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains. Spectacularly wasteful onchain searching is starting to consume most of the capacity of most high-throughput blockchains. This is a market failure we can no longer ignore.

Really cool website - the Ethereum ecosystems alien technology on full display. Accelerate!

Where are the shorter slot times @dankrad? 6 seconds to start with and how we plan for 1s?

Where is thew 60M block gas limit? @ViktorBunin @matilote @Kiln_finance @LidoFinance @vdWijden

A simple test that miners are using alternative relay rules: broadcast a non-RBF tx below market rate, wait some period of time, then broadcast a conflicting tx with sufficient fees. Notice that the newer tx will be included in a block despite the first being "unreplacable".

This is all reminiscent of the RBF flag - required for increasing the fee of a pending transaction per Bitcoin Core's stated mempool rules, but entirely unnecessary in practice.

Base has reached Stage 1 Decentralization We're building the foundation for a truly open, global onchain economy

it’s called mt tam because you can see all your potential users from the top

Sharing @base team's view on the Fusaka hardfork. https://t.co/77pZDSi8mk 1. Lock current Fusaka scope to only include PeerDAS and EOF 2. Ship Fusaka as soon as PeerDAS is ready (ideally early Q3 2025), with as high blob number as testing allows 3. Ship Fusaka with built-in

You can just scale things
