Base Network promises to increase the gas target by 1 Mgas/s every week starting from the end of September

On September 5th, Base released a blog post detailing its expansion roadmap for 2024. Since its launch, Base has increased the gas target per block from 2.5 Mgas/s to 10 Mgas/s, quadrupling throughput. Starting from the end of September, Base promises to increase the gas target by 1 Mgas/s each week, which may accelerate to 2 Mgas/s per week in the future. In addition, Base is actively participating in the development of PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), which is part of Ethereum's upcoming Pectra upgrade. The Base team calls for significantly increasing blob capacity while activating PeerDAS to support larger-scale expansions. To ensure fair network compensation, Base suggests raising the minimum blob fee or implementing a new blob data charging mechanism.
