From e9d6955d299d2ec7bb31d629eedef1bebd423974 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Axiom Bot <0xAxiom@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 05:24:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs:=20add=20BASE=5FNODE=5FL1=20vars=20to=20Qu?= =?UTF-8?q?ick=20Start=20and=20fix=20reth=20devnet=E2=86=92sepolia=20typo?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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).
