With Flashblocks, Base will soon be 10x faster—surpassing even Solana.

For Aerodrome, this change will unlock:
Faster trades + Higher volumes + Better UX

Here's how 🧵 👇

Introducing Flashblocks ⚡

With Flashblocks, instead of waiting for full blocks to be built, sent, and finalized, transactions will be confirmed nearly instantly—in 200ms.

This will change the DEX game in three ways:

Flashblocks make Base faster

This 10x change makes Base the fastest EVM chain to date, bringing effective block times from 2 seconds down to 200 milliseconds —and they're live on testnet right now + coming to mainnet in Q2 https://t.co/q4eKK6iapd

1. Faster Trades: "Real-time" Transactions

⚡10x speed enables better prices for users & greater flexibility for LPs

💵 Improved capital efficiency can lead to higher profits per dollar in liquidity for LPs

✈️ Faster confirmations = CEX-like speeds

3. Better UX: Native Revert Protection

✅ No more "stuck" transactions

✅ No more fees for failed transactions—LPs and arbitrageurs can freely rebalance pools for optimal pricing w/o penalty

✅ No more failed bot transactions bogging down the network—freeing up blockspace for LPs & traders

The result is a smoother, more efficient & predictable experience for users.

As @base accelerates, so too will Aerodrome.

A lightning fast, secure, and user-friendly experience will fuel exponential growth across the ecosystem.

2. Higher Volumes: LVR Mitigation

LVR = the premium arbitrageurs extract from LPs when CEX & DEX prices differ due to block times.

By slashing block times, Flashblocks will force arbitrageurs to trade more for the same profit, leading to higher volumes and increased revenues for LPs.
