Base Network Raises Gas Limit to 125 Mgas/s, Aims for 150 Mgas/s

Key Points:

Base increased its gas limit from 100 to 125 million gas per second, approaching its year-end target of 150 Mgas/s.
The network transitioned from op-geth to the more efficient op-reth client software for improved performance.
Execution speed is identified as the primary bottleneck; Base is exploring infrastructure improvements and a potential native token.
Future plans aim to achieve a capacity of 400-500 Mgas/s by early 2026, with key projects like TrieDB and new resource metering tools.
Scaling efforts focus on keeping transaction fees below one cent, despite high activity periods increasing fees to five cents in June 2025.
