Base will decouple from the Optimism ecosystem and shift towards a self-managed unified tech stack
BlockBeats News, February 19th, according to The Block, Coinbase-incubated Ethereum Layer 2 network Base announced its departure from Optimism's Superchain ecosystem, shifting towards a unified tech stack operated by Base, abandoning reliance on the OP Stack as well as external dependencies such as Flashbots and Paradigm.
This change aims to reduce the coordination overhead of multi-team code maintenance, simplify the system through optimizations based on open-source components like Reth, while remaining in a "Stage 1" rollup state. It plans to short-term support the OP Stack but future hard forks will need to migrate to the new Base client. The upcoming hard fork will include Base V1 (supporting Fusaka and transitioning to TEE/ZK proof), with subsequent versions synchronizing with the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade; the blog emphasizes protocol openness and welcomes alternative implementations.
