🤔 Base plans to consolidate key #network components into its own unified codebase, requiring node operators to follow Base’s #release versions. Over the coming months, Base will gradually #move away from the $OP Stack while continuing to work with #Optimism as an $OP Enterprise customer. This #shift is expected to increase its #upgrade cadence from three to six times per year and advance a #transition from optimistic proofs toward TEE/ZK-based proofs in future hard forks. As the highest-revenue L2 in the $OP Stack ecosystem, greater independence for Base could also mean it no longer shares sequencer revenue with Optimism. #crypto
