Base mainnet launches the Denim upgrade, cutting block times to 200 milliseconds (protocol upgrade)
Event: Base announced on X that the Denim upgrade is now live on mainnet, enabling native 200-millisecond block times (5 full blocks per second), replacing the previous Flashblocks preconfirmations. It introduces BaseTime for millisecond-level time precision, improves the B20 token standard, allows issuers to require approval from designated parties for every transfer, and supports allowlists and blocklists.
Impact: Protocol upgrade.
Resistance and support levels: Base is an L2 for $COIN base and has no independent token; this benefits its ecosystem and activity on the Ethereum mainnet.
Outlook: Faster block production and programmable token standards improve the on-chain application experience. Meme, SocialFi, and payment projects in the $BASED ecosystem stand to benefit.
About the coin: Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 built by Coinbase on the OP Stack. It has no native token and settles through Ethereum.
