Scheduled

Base is increasing the per block gas limit from 70 Mgas/s to 75 Mgas/s as part of continued, planned scaling efforts to bring a billion people onchain.

For builders and almost all Base users, no changes are necessary. But if you're running a Base node and notice any latency after the increase:
1. Monitor CPU and Disk I/O usage
2. Enhance disk throughput and use disks with lower read/write latency (NVMe SSDs recommended)
3. Improve CPU, focusing on single-core speed

You can also stop by the #node-operators channel in the Base Discord (https://base.org/discord) if you have any questions and we'll be happy to help you there!
