The update changes proofs, clients, and Ethereum upgrade features.<\/p>\n<p>The network said Azul makes Base \u201cfaster and more secure.\u201d That claim refers to a multiproof system.

Base says withdrawals can finish in \u201cas little as one day\u201d when both systems agree.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Multiproofs target Base decentralization<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The multiproof design reduces reliance on one proof path. If a zero-knowledge proof conflicts with a permissioned TEE proof, the ZK proof can override it.<\/p>\n<p>That setup gives Base another step toward Stage 2 decentralization. It also supports a safer route for faster withdrawals between Base and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>The full effect will depend on live network use. Base is still moving toward a final design based on stronger zero-knowledge proving.<\/p>\n<p>Azul also adds Ethereum Osaka execution-layer changes, including the CLZ opcode and repricing updates. Base said most application developers should not need large code changes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Base clients replace older node software<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The upgrade matters most for infrastructure teams. Node operators running older software must migrate to Base-native clients to stay in sync.<\/p>\n<p>Azul moves Base to base-reth-node as its execution client. It also adds base-consensus as its consensus client.<\/p>\n<p>Base documents say op-node, op-geth, op-reth, nethermind, and kona no longer support the upgrade. That makes migration required for affected operators.<\/p>\n<p>Operators already using OP Reth through the Base node package can update without a full re-sync. Others may need to start again with base-reth-node.<\/p>\n<p>Base says the new stack cut empty blocks by about \u201c99%.\u201d The count fell from nearly 200 per day to about two.<\/p>\n<p>The network also reported several bursts of \u201c5,000 transactions per second.\u201d Those figures are internal network claims and should be read as reported results.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Base plans more upgrades after Azul<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Azul launch follows earlier crypto.news coverage on faster withdrawals and stronger proof security. The same reporting thread noted Base\u2019s move toward its own stack.<\/p>\n<p>Base still has more upgrades planned. The next releases are expected to focus on performance and user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Native account abstraction is also on the roadmap. That change could make wallets and transactions easier for users over time.<\/p>\n<p>The main angle for users is simple. Base wants its Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer 2 to become faster and less dependent on one proof system.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Base Azul is live on mainnet.
