Base Network Announces Speed and Cost Improvements
Base Network Announces Speed and Cost Improvements
🚀 Base Just Got Turbo
Base, the Coinbase-incubated Layer 2 network, has announced significant performance upgrades and fee reductions.
- Transaction speeds are increasing through network optimizations
- Gas fees are being reduced further, following previous cost reductions in May 2024
- The improvements are part of Base's Accelerate initiative
These updates continue Base's commitment to scaling Ethereum while maintaining accessibility and efficiency.
Note: These changes are scheduled to take effect in April 2025
Base is getting faster. Base is getting cheaper. Accelerate.
To build a global onchain economy, we need to scale and keep gas fees under 1 cent. The more gas units a chain uses each second, the more transactions it can process. We measure this by the millions: Mgas/s Our target this quarter is 50 Mgas/s — scaling Base 20x since launch.
