To build a global onchain economy, we need to scale to keep gas fees under one cent. Our goal for 2025 is to reach a gas target of 250 Mgas/s — a 100x increase from where we started. In Q1, we hit a major milestone: 25 Mgas/s, 10x from launch. We’re now on track to reach 50 Mgas/s by the end of Q2. This quarterly review provides a status update of critical scaling bottlenecks, and our progress towards eliminating them.

In this post we deep dive into the implementation details of MTCannon - a Fault Proof Virtual Machine that improves the efficiency of how OP Stack rollups verify state transitions.

Base funded a comprehensive third-party security audit of the Solady library, and as result, a more secure version has been released. This post dives into the findings and outcomes.

This post outlines the Base engineer team's journey in designing and building Keyspace, a cross-chain keystore for smart wallet configuration data.

Base is launching Apphains - dedicated app rollups designed for independent scaling, customization, and seamlessly integrating with Base via near-instant bridging.

How Smart Wallet Sub Accounts can deliver improved better onchain experiences with strong security guarantees

To support a global onchain economy and ensure Ethereum's success, Base believes it's crucial to ship the Fusaka hard fork Q3 of 2025, here's the plan..

To build a global onchain economy, we need to scale. To reach our North Star of 1 Ggas/s, we’re charting a path to achieve 250 Mgas/s in 2025. Our main focuses are: increasing L1 data availability for rollups, improving client execution speed, ensuring fault proofs continue to run as expected, and maintaining a healthy disk usage for nodes.

This post explores how we monitor fault proofs on Base, showcasing the framework and monitoring solutions we've developed in Hexagate to secure the system. Additionally, we share details on our open-sourced custom invariant monitors for use by other OP Stack teams.

Base recently launched Fault Proofs on mainnet, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards progressive decentralization. This is a summary of our work in benchmarking the Fault Proof components to ensure they remain stable throughout our scaling efforts.
