Base: Snapshots Shrink to 3.2TB, Sync in 2 Hours

Base v2 snapshots went live yesterday, shrinking mainnet chain data from roughly 7TB to 3.2TB through a new chunked compression schema while slashing sync times from 5 hours to 2 hours and dropping pruned nodes to 1TB. Node operators must migrate to the v1.2.0 release before the mid-August Base Ethereum L2 node snapshot compression MDBX hard limit or risk storage failures. The update delivers clear Base chain v2 snapshot sync time improvements for anyone running Base infrastructure.
