Odaily News Base has announced new progress on its 2024 roadmap, which aims to reduce on-chain transaction costs and improve data availability to support global users participating in the on-chain economy. The project team plans to introduce the PeerDAS protocol through the upcoming Pectra upgrade to increase data capacity and reduce network bandwidth requirements. Since its launch last year, Base has increased throughput by 4 times and increased the gas target per block from 2.5 Mgas/s to 10 Mgas/s. Base has committed to increasing the gas target by 1 Mgas/s per week starting in late September to achieve the long-term goal of 1 Ggas/s. This strategy is designed to provide developers and the community with a predictable expansion path while ensuring the health of the network. Base also emphasized the importance of increasing blob capacity to support its expansion plans and proposed increasing the minimum price for blob data to ensure the health of the network and fair compensation.
