Key Notes

The Ethereum Layer-2 solution upgraded capacity after successfully transitioning from op-geth to op-reth client infrastructure.

Network execution speed remains the primary scaling constraint requiring resolution before achieving higher throughput targets.

Plans include reaching 400-500 Mgas/s by early 2026 through TrieDB implementation delivering significantly faster state retrieval.

Base founder Jesse Pollak announced on Nov. 6 that the network increased its gas limit from 100 to 125 million gas per second. The capacity increase moves the Ethereum Layer-2 closer to its stated year-end target of 150 Mgas/s.
