Base is aggressively scaling its blockchain to support a growing user base and onchain activities. By the end of 2025, the goal is to double the gas limit from 75 to 150 Mgas/s while maintaining low transaction fees. Since the start of 2025, Base has made significant gains, dropping median fees from around 30 cents to just fractions of a cent. This scaling effort comes from addressing multiple bottlenecks, including data availability and client execution speed, through projects like migrating to Reth and optimizing with TrieDB. A recent hardfork, Pectra, doubled blob space on Ethereum, allowing Base to settle more transactions. The upcoming PeerDAS implementation, expected in early December 2025, will further enhance data availability without overloading the network. This project involves sharding blobs across nodes, a collaborative effort that has accelerated its rollout. The timeline shows a clear path to increasing blob capacity substantially by early 2026, which will be essential for ongoing scaling. Base is also focused on improving block building speeds to accommodate larger blocks as the network scales. They are migrating nodes from the original op-geth client to a more efficient Base client based on op-reth. This transition is nearly complete for internal infrastructure, with only parts of the fault proof system remaining on the original setup. A benchmarking tool is being developed to simulate block building times under various conditions, helping to identify performance constraints that need addressing before scaling further.
