According to @jessepollak on Twitter, the Base blockchain has increased its gas target to 32.5 mgas/s, up by 2.5 mgas/s from the previous limit. This marks the first such increase and is aimed at scaling the chain to accommodate more users and transactions onchain (source: @jessepollak, April 30, 2025). For traders, this adjustment could translate to higher throughput, reduced network congestion, and potentially lower transaction fees, enhancing the trading experience on Base. Market participants should monitor how this change impacts transaction speeds and fee dynamics, as increased capacity can make Base more attractive for high-frequency trading and DeFi activities.
