The Ethereum Layer 2 network, a base supported by Coinbase, introduced three key innovations to improve the scalability and conviviality of blockchain.
According to a blog article of February 27, these tools – blocks, smart wallet sub -accounts and basic apptchains – consult to simplify the development of blockchain while improving the efficiency of transactions.
Base explained that these tools emphasize the enlargement of the economy on chain thanks to faster transactions, personalized infrastructure and an improvement in portfolio features.
He said:
“We introduce three new constituent elements to allow everyone to build onchain: flash blocks to make the base faster, basic appchains to help on the basic scale and intelligent wallet sub-accounts to make the base easier to use.”
These updates strengthen the position of the base as the main Ethereum Layer 2 network. Growthepie data show that it manages 4.61 million weekly active addresses, which represents more than 50% of the activity of layer 2.
Blocks
According to the post, the basis of flashblocks, a new technology designed to reduce the treatment time for transactions by two seconds to 200 milliseconds.
Developed by flashbots, this innovation could make the base ten times faster, potentially by establishing it as the most effective Ethereum (EVM) virtual machine chain.
Flashblocks operates the pre -construction blocks which update all 200 milliseconds, allowing a rapid transaction purpose. Added base:
“This architecture is inspired by innovations in the propagation and execution of blocks – such as Solana flaps and Celestia data squares – while introducing new optimizations for the Rollup context.”
Jesse Pollak, the basic main developer, underlined its performance potential, noting that the platform could work twice as quickly as Solana, considerably improving the experience of the developer and the user.
Technology is currently tested on Sepolia Basic Testnet. A main launch is planned for the T2 2024.
Basic
The base unrolls the basic appchains, a layer 3 (L3) scaling solution built on the OP battery.
This tool is designed to support applications requiring high transaction flow. Base has said that appchains offer developers a more flexible environment by allowing configurable gas tokens, cost structures and authorization models.
The solution is integrated directly into the Coinbase developer platform (CDP) and provides a business quality infrastructure, including managed sequencers and a dedicated block space.
Several applications, including Horizen, Metacade and others, are already taking advantage of the basic appchaines to support the real world’s confidentiality applications and respond to the high demands of players on the channel.
Smart Wallet Sub Accounts
Intelligent sub-door accounts improve how users manage their activity on a chain by allowing several wallets to operate in a single interface.
This feature reduces unnecessary portfolio pop-up windows and improves transaction safety thanks to granular expenditure limits.
It also simplifies integration, because new accounts can be funded directly from a main portfolio while retaining strict access controls.
According to Base, Smart Wallet Sub-accounts is ready for integration on the Network Testnet and will be live on the Mainnet in T2.
