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. link

🥷 OpenAI and Paradigm launched EVMbench, a benchmark designed to measure how well AI agents can detect, patch, and exploit vulnerabilities across EVM ecosystems such as Ethereum.
