Base

🔵 based morning to all based builders,

as we turn the page on the quarter, I want to share a lookback on our Q2 and a lookahead to our Q3.

@base had an exciting 12 weeks. we hit 86% of our weekly active apps growth goal and shipped some big things for the community:

Dev (DRI: @nickprince.eth)
- Grow TBA mini app WAAs from [X] to [Y]

- our dev team cooked on powerful new tools to help you build, grow, and earn onchain – we shipped 4 more mainnet appchains, major improvements to OnchainKit, a new Docs site powered by Mintlify with AI-powered search and chat, and continued to streamline MiniKit for better mini app DevX.

- we ran Base Batches 001, our incubator program, with 800+ teams and 70+ finalists. we distributed 25+ ETH in weekly builder rewards, not to mention more in grants and prizes. we ran multiple onchain buildathons, including with @vercel. we also hired 7 new base country leads and had fun meeting many of y’all IRL at Farcon and EthCC.

but it’s still just the beginning. one of our core values is to build in public, and in that spirit here is the Q3 2025 product roadmap for Base Builder org:

- at the chain level, we achieved Stage 1 decentralization, a company-wide milestone and multi-quarter effort. we increased maximum blockspace throughput to 75 Mgas/s and adjusted the burst:sustained ratio to 3x to better support burst traffic. and we are on the homestretch to enabling 200ms flashblocks on mainnet in collab with flashbots.

- we announced our onchain commerce protocol, a groundbreaking smart contract-based auth+capture escrow protocol, built in close partnership @base x shopify x @coinbase business. the future of commerce is onchain, and we’re just getting started.

crazy pace man. thank you for what you do.
