1. New Base stack
• Base Chain is now 10x faster. Thanks to flashblocks, blocks are now processed in 200 ms
• Base Build: a single dashboard for launching, promoting and monetizing mini-apps
• Base App (ex Coinbase Wallet): a super-app that now has a social network, chat, market, trading and mini-apps in one place. Already in beta

2. What's inside Base App
• Farcaster integration: each post becomes a coin, subscribers buy it - the creator earns
• Trades right in the feed: see what your friends bought, click and swap right away
• Mini-apps: Remix, Noice, Decentralized Pictures and hundreds of others
• USDC Tap-to-Pay: instant on-chain payments via NFC without commission
• Chats based on XMTP: groups, AI agents, instant USDC transfers. Everything is encrypted

3. Base Account and Base Pay
• Base Account: universal on-chain login ("Sign-in with Base")
• Base Pay: express checkout with payment in USDC. Shopify is already connected (1% cashback in the US)

From interesting:
1. 200ms speed opens up scenarios for games and real-time finance
2. Farcaster & Zora bundle creates a new content economy (post = coin)
3. Shopify & Base Pay open fast and cheap crypto payments for the masses
