Base active addresses just jumped 125% in 24 hours. - Base is abandoning the OP Stack entirely, consolidating into a single self-operated stack: base/base. Less external dependency, full control over their roadmap. - This move unlocks 6 hard forks/year vs. the current 3. Faster iteration means Base can ship upgrades before they become bottlenecks. - V1 replaces optimistic proofs with TEE/ZK proofs. Shorter finality windows, stronger security guarantees 🔐 - Base stays Stage 1 decentralized through the transition. This isn't a speed vs. security tradeoff, it's both.
