According to PANews, Jesse Pollak, the head of Base, recently outlined the network's objectives to achieve rapid speeds, low costs, and high throughput. The goals include a target speed of 200 milliseconds, transaction fees under $0.01, and a throughput of 200 transactions per second. Pollak emphasized the gradual decentralization of the network through the implementation of Vitalik Buterin's phase 1 and 2 plans.
Addressing concerns about the centralization of sequencers, Pollak stated that more sequencer nodes would be introduced in the short to medium term. He highlighted that the primary goal is to achieve CR attributes, such as neutrality and protection against sandwich attacks, rather than solely focusing on sequencer decentralization.
Vitalik Buterin also noted that for Layer 2 solutions, features like fast withdrawals and censorship-resistant channels should take precedence over complete sequencer decentralization.
