🚨 BREAKING: @base just announced Flashblocks - making it the fastest EVM chain in crypto.

But this is bigger than Base. This will change everything about how we think about blockchain speed.

Here's why Flashblocks are a game-changer 🧵

1/ First, let's address the elephant in the room:

Base is about to process transactions in 200ms. That's 10x faster than current speeds.

For context: That's faster than Solana (400ms) 🤯

4/ The magic? Separation of powers:
• Sequencing (ordering transactions)
• Proving (validating them)
• Posting to L1
Traditional L1s do everything at once. Rollups can split these up, making everything faster while keeping Ethereum's security.

3/ Here's what makes Flashblocks revolutionary:

Think of them as "mini-blocks" that get confirmed every 200ms, instead of waiting for full blocks.

It's like upgrading from sending letters to instant messaging. The entire UX changes.
