Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Base scaled to 25 Mgas/s in Q1 and is on track to hit 50 Mgas/s by end-of-Q2 on its way to a 250 Mgas/s annual target. Key bottlenecks include L1 data availability, execution client speed, fault-proof performance, and state/history growth. A rigorous go/no-go process, proactive benchmarking against future gas limits, and published node configuration guidance ensure safety and reliability as Base raises its gas target.
