I was curious how @base's block confirmation time can be 200ms from 2 seconds. That's 200 milliseconds, we are talking about. Ever heard of Flashblocks? @base new tech is making Ethereum L2s scream with speed! Here are my notes on what Flashblocks are and why they are a game-changer. 🧵👇

1/ What are Flashblocks? They’re like turbo-charged mini-blocks on Base, slashing confirmation times from 2s to 200ms. That’s 10x faster! This makes @base the fastest EVM chain!

2/ How? Flashblocks pre-build & stream transactions every 200ms using a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Early confirmations + revert protection = smooth, reliable trades!

3/ Why it matters? Speed unlocks real-time use cases. Think instant Uniswap swaps, lag-free on-chain gaming, or Appchains for dApps. Base claims it’s 2x faster than Solana’s 400ms. Big flex!

4/ MEV protection is baked in. Flashblocks using Flashbots fight sandwich attacks, making trading fairer.

5/ Caveat: Full block finality is still ~2s. For EVM fans, Flashblocks are unmatched. Test them on Base Sepolia now!
