Base has unveiled a new multi-verification system that integrates Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs, significantly reducing empty blocks by 99% during high transaction volumes of 5,000 TPS. The mainnet is set to launch on May 13, accompanied by a $250,000 bug bounty program. This upgrade, following the Azul testnet launch, marks a pivotal step towards decentralization and improved user trust. The Azul upgrade introduces a hybrid verification system, allowing transactions to be processed independently by both parties, with ZK proofs taking precedence in disputes. This approach enhances control, validation, and dispute resolution, while backend optimizations have improved efficiency and stability. Base's stablecoin market cap stands at nearly $5 billion, with over $4 billion in locked value, underscoring its active role in decentralized finance. As Base aligns with Ethereum's upcoming Osaka upgrade, it continues to progress towards full decentralization, with stress tests underway to ensure system stability before the mainnet launch. This strategic move reflects Base's commitment to reducing trust assumptions and enhancing infrastructure performance.
