According to @jessepollak, Base has increased network capacity and lowered fees, signaling more available block space and cheaper transactions for traders on the L2. Source: @jessepollak on X (Nov 6, 2025). Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 that uses ETH as the native gas token, so reduced L2 fees directly decrease execution costs for swaps, mints, and transfers on Base. Source: Base documentation. On AMMs, gas overhead is part of total execution cost, meaning lower fees reduce the minimum efficient trade size and improve cost efficiency for order execution. Source: Uniswap documentation. Traders can verify the change by monitoring Base throughput (TPS) and median fees on independent tracking dashboards that publish real-time metrics for Base. Source: L2Beat.
