Deconstructing Flashblocks - How Base Got So Fast

1/5: Everyone's talking about @base's new speed, but how did they achieve a 10x performance boost? The answer is Flashblocks, a technology from the wizards at @Flashbots. Let's dive into the tech. #Base #Flashblocks #L2 @krypto_woelfe @pudgypenguins

4/5: This architecture was inspired by innovations like Solana's "Shreds" but is specifically optimized for an L2 rollup context. It provides the user experience of a high-performance L1 while retaining the security of settling on Ethereum. #Solana #Ethereum @krypto_woelfe @pudgypenguins

3/5: This is made possible by Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). The block-building logic runs inside a secure hardware enclave, which means it's tamper-proof even from the sequencer operator. This provides a verifiable commitment to fair transaction ordering. #TEE #Security @krypto_woelfe @pudgypenguins

2/5: Instead of creating one large block every 2 seconds, the Base sequencer now streams "mini-blocks" every 200 milliseconds. Think of it like sending text messages instead of a long email. This gives users and apps near-instant feedback on their transactions. #Blockchain #CryptoTech @krypto_woelfe @pudgypenguins
