Base

hello builders

one of our guiding principles at @base is to Build in the Open — examples include our open source / open standards work on op-enclave and EIP-5792, our contributions to Ethereum L1 like EIP-4844 and blob/acc, and our sharing of the ongoing evolution of the Coinbase Wallet app.

in this spirit, here is a partial look at the Base Builder quarterly product roadmap for 2025 Q2. we openly share this as a look at what the Base Builder product org is focused on shipping — while leaving space for a few surprises still =)

across all 4 pods, teams are working tirelessly to improve your experience as a @base builder — to help turn your Idea into an App, your App into a Business, and find a long-term, sustainable way to earn a living from building onchain.

and it’s not just the product org that is here to help — @xenbh.eth and the Global team with Base Batches, Buildathons, and Builder Rewards programs; @ericbrown.eth and the growing DevRel team with boots-on-the-ground builder education and support; @frankel and the Ecosystem team with partnership support, to name just a few.

as always, reach out to let us know what we’re doing well, and what we can do better. we’re here because we believe in a better internet, a more open internet, where value and creativity and ideas flow more freely between people and countries and communities. and we can’t do it alone.

together we can make Base the place where the best apps are built, where we solve real problems for real people, and where the growing onchain economy increases innovation, creativity, and freedom around the world.

this product roadmap represents our current direction and is not a binding commitment; features and timelines may evolve based on market feedback, technical learnings, and strategic shifts.

- Scale blockspace throughput from 30 to 50 Mgas/s
- Achieve Stage 1 decentralization

we are collaborating with Flashbots to bring their Flashblocks tech to Base Mainnet (already live on Base Testnet).

you can read more here about the technology approach — these are 200ms preconfirmation sub blocks, 10 per full 2s block, offering snappier wallet and transaction UX.

Thanks for being transparent. The 200ms blocktime means every block will take exactly 200ms to be mined/processed?

My guess is, shhhhhh may be something similar to Ethereum wishper protocol shh.

What does it do? Wallet to wallet messages.
