Base Update from Jesse Pollak
summary
Base runs 200 millisecond block times, median fees around a tenth of a cent and just doubled capacity to 150 mega gas/sec, built on open source tools like Try DB and base benchmark. The bridge is moving toward a faster, stage‑two settlement path in 2026. Wallet and UX work includes ERC5792 batching, EIP7702 smart‑wallet migration (25,000 EOAs converted last week, millions planned) and ERC850 one‑tap payments. Base hosts 500+ weekly apps, 17 local stablecoins and launches an Argentinian stablecoin called WS.
