Base

1/ Flashblocks 🚀
@base ase just got 10x faster with Flashblocks, reducing effective block times from 2 seconds to 200ms.

This makes @base the fastest EVM chain to date.

Now live on testnet, coming to mainnet in Q2. Let’s break it down 👇

2/ What are Flashblocks?
Flashblocks are sub-blocks issued by the block builder and streamed to nodes every 200ms.

✅ Near-instant confirmations
✅ Built-in revert protection

A game-changer for onchain UX.

3/ Why does this matter?
Users expect snappy apps. Flashblocks bring the onchain experience closer to Web2:

⚡ Transactions confirmed in real-time
⚡ Less waiting, better UX
⚡ @base  becomes the fastest EVM

4/ How does it work?
Flashblocks leverage ideas from @solana’s shreds and @celestia’s data squares, optimizing block propagation & execution.

Tailored for rollups to maximize efficiency.

5/ Flashblocks are already live on testnet!
Builders can start testing today on @base Sepolia:

🔗 Full block RPC: sepolia.base.org
🔗 Flashblock RPC: sepolia-preconf.base.org

Mainnet launch in Q2.

6/ A revolution for @optimism Chains
@base uses Rollup Boost, an external block production module for OP Stack chains.

🔥 The result?
✅ Faster block validation
✅ No network stalls

@base ase is setting a new standard for EVM speed.

7/ The future is fast
Flashblocks prove that @ethereum  rollups can scale without sacrificing decentralization.
