 ### Changed
 
+- BRIP-2: Allowed configuration of the `MinimumBaseFeeWei`. For Berachain, this will be set as 1 gwei. (https://github.com/berachain/bera-geth/pull/2)
+- BRIP-2: Allowed configuration of the `BaseFeeChangeDenominator`. For Berachain, this will be set as 48 (a 6x increase corresponding to 6x faster block times). (https://github.com/berachain/bera-geth/pull/2)
 - [WIP] Updated release GH workflow to publish tarballs and push built images to GHCR.
 - Removed support for appveyor, gitea, travis, circleci.
