What

Two small doc fixes reported in #1073 and #1075:

  1. Quick Start missing BASE_NODE_L1_* vars (docs(readme): Quick Start missing BASE_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC and BASE_NODE_L1_BEACON for base-consensus #1073)
    The Quick Start only showed OP_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC, OP_NODE_L1_BEACON, and OP_NODE_L1_BEACON_ARCHIVER. Since reth + base-consensus is now the default client, new operators also need to set BASE_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC and BASE_NODE_L1_BEACON (already present in both .env.mainnet and .env.sepolia). Without these, base-consensus cannot connect to L1.

  2. reth/README.md says "devnet" instead of "sepolia" (docs(reth): README refers to devnet instead of sepolia for Flashblocks websocket endpoint #1075)
    The Flashblocks public WebSocket endpoint is wss://sepolia.flashblocks.base.org/ws as confirmed by .env.sepolia. Updated the description accordingly.

Changes

  • README.md: Added BASE_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC and BASE_NODE_L1_BEACON to the Quick Start code block with a clarifying comment
  • reth/README.md: Changed "devnet" → "sepolia"

Fixes #1073, fixes #1075

…a typo

Quick Start only showed OP_NODE_L1_* variables, but since reth+base-consensus
is the default client, BASE_NODE_L1_ETH_RPC and BASE_NODE_L1_BEACON must also
be configured or base-consensus cannot connect to L1.

Also corrects 'devnet' → 'sepolia' in reth/README.md (the Flashblocks public
WS endpoint is wss://sepolia.flashblocks.base.org/ws, not a devnet endpoint).

Fixes base#1073, fixes base#1075
