Coinbase-incubated Base launches Azul testnet upgrade with multiproofs to advance decentralization
The Block
Base has released the Azul testnet upgrade, introducing a multiproof system and new client stack to enhance network decentralization and performance.Summary
Base, the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum Layer 2 network, has launched its Azul testnet upgrade. The update features a new multiproof system that integrates trusted execution environment (TEE) proofs with zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to improve security and accelerate withdrawal finality. Additionally, the upgrade introduces a streamlined client stack using base-reth-node and base-consensus to optimize network performance, which has already significantly reduced empty blocks. This move supports Base's goal of achieving Stage 2 decentralization while aligning with Ethereum's latest technical specifications.
