Base has launched v2 snapshots, according to a post on X by Base engineer Eric Liu. The update reduces the mainnet snapshot size from about 7 TB to about 3.2 TB through a new chunking design and higher compression, while sync time drops from roughly five hours to around two hours. Pruned nodes now take up about 1 TB. In parallel, the GitHub release for base/node v1.2.0 has been updated to Reth v2.3.0 and now includes official support for v2 snapshots. Node operators are required to upgrade to that version and migrate their databases to v2 storage. The release also fixes an issue affecting pruned-node syncing from genesis. Base said node operators should complete the migration before the MDBX hard-limit deadline in mid-August.
