The base, layer for atherium is 2 scaling solution, Pur: Three new features to improve the speed of its transaction, increase scalability and use it to simplify it.
For speed, the base introduced the flashblock technique, which reduces the block time by 2 seconds, only up to 200 milliseconds. Developers can start testing this feature on base sepolia testnet today, and they will be rolled out on Mennet in Q2.
For scalability, the base launched app chain, layer -3 chain was designed for apps that need to be skillful. They provide dedicated blockspace and are made with OP-Enklave Framework, making them suitable for high-crown applications. Appchains can be adapted, and they are supported by strong infrastructure, allowing developers to manage their applications more effectively.
Finally, the base added smart wallet sub accounts from the same wallet to allow managing several onchain accounts, leaving the requirement of many login procedures. It also reduces pop-up. This facility is now available on base testnet and will be launched on Mennet in Q2.
If the new features of the base run the more defi, NFT, and gaming application, the demand for Ethereum (Eth), which is used for transactions and gas charges can increase. Since base No plan To present your own token, it is good news for the atherium.
Even before this upgrade, the base is much faster than the atherium. The average block time of the atherium is about 12 seconds, while the new flashblock technology of the base reduces the time to only 200 milliseconds. In terms of TPS speed, the base is also About 7x bar Faster than Ethereum.
While the new features of the base greatly increase transactions processing speed and scalability, there are also potential concerns.
Most particularly, rapid block production enabled by flashblock (200MS block time) raises potential security risks, such as an increase in orphan blocks. Orphan blocks occur when two miners or verifications produce blocks at the same time. In this case, one of the blocks will eventually be abandoned as the chain has been restructured to include only one competitive blocks. Orphan blocks not only ruin computational power, but it can also provide more opportunities for malicious actors to exploit the network.
For smart wallet sub accounts, they can also introduce security risks if a single compromise wallet provides access to several accounts.
Finally, apps introduce additional complexity to chain developers, which must ensure interoperability and safety in several layer 3 chains.
