Coinbase-incubated Base network adopts Succinct’s zero-knowledge tech
Summary
Base, the Coinbase-incubated Layer 2 network, is integrating Succinct’s SP1 zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to improve its infrastructure. While currently an optimistic rollup, this move allows Base to replace lengthy challenge periods with faster cryptographic finality, enhancing security for users and developers. Succinct’s technology, which already secures billions in assets for other major protocols, marks a significant step for Base as it evolves its tech stack and aligns with the broader industry trend toward ZK-based Ethereum scaling.
