Base Mainnet will be undergoing the @Optimism Superchain U16A upgrade on October 7, 2025 between 17:00-19:00 UTC.
This upgrade will temporarily invalidate pending withdrawals from Base Mainnet to Ethereum L1. Deposits and onchain activity will continue as normal; this invalidation doesn't place any ETH or ERC-20 tokens at risk.
Please ensure that any pending withdrawals are finalized before October 7, 2025 at 17:00 UTC. Any unfinalized withdrawals will need to be reproven after the upgrade completes.

Last night, Base Chain experienced a 33 minute network disruption that halted block production.
This was due to an automatic handoff to an unhealthy mainnet sequencer in the high-availability cluster. We quickly switched to a healthy mainnet sequencer and Base Chain resumed normal operation.
We have run a full postmortem to share what happened, how we addressed the issue, and the steps we are taking to prevent similar incidents in the future.

To build a global onchain economy, we need to scale and keep gas fees under 1 cent.
The more gas units a chain uses each second, the more transactions it can process. We measure this by the millions: Mgas/s
Our target this quarter is 50 Mgas/s — scaling Base 20x since launch.
