This article outlines Base's plans to double its gas limit and enhance performance by 2025 to better accommodate growing onchain activity. It discusses ongoing projects like migrating infrastructure to Reth and implementing TrieDB to tackle scaling bottlenecks. The goal is to maintain low transaction fees while significantly increasing capacity.

Base has evolved from a blockchain to a comprehensive platform that integrates social networking, payments, and app discovery within the new Base app. The platform aims to empower creators and users by allowing them to own their data and monetize their content directly. Key features include fast transactions, mini apps, and enhanced social interactions all within a single app.

Base chain is set to enhance transaction speeds to 200 milliseconds with the introduction of Flashblocks, making it ten times faster than its current performance. Developers can integrate Flashblocks on Base Sepolia now in preparation for the full deployment on Base Mainnet, which will provide a snappier user experience. The technology allows for early confirmation and changes transaction ordering, with a focus on reliability and minimal outages.
