The Base team has announced a series of upgrades designed to accelerate and simplify its Layer-2 (L2) network. Flashblocks will boost speed by up to 10x, while Appchains enable seamless scaling for applications. Additionally, Smart Wallet Sub Accounts will make on-chain onboarding easier, broadening Web3 adoption. Taken together, these improvements underscore Base’s commitment to establishing a robust and scalable infrastructure for decentralized applications.

Optimism’s new technology brings together fragmented chains into one smooth environment, enabling event reading without additional trust assumptions. This opens the door to effortless cross-chain dApp integration and seamless smart contract interoperability. The outcome is a more flexible, scalable blockchain ecosystem for both developers and users.

Zora offers a new way to turn any post into a token and purchase it directly. All it takes is finding your favorite post, entering your desired amount, and clicking "Buy". That’s it—enjoy your new purchase and explore the possibilities of collecting content!

Although $MINT is not the first token on the Superchain, its launch marks a significant milestone for the Mint ecosystem. Built on the SuperchainERC20 standard and integrated with Optimism, $MINT delivers high-speed transactions and user-friendly access for decentralized applications. A considerable portion of the token’s supply is allocated to developers and the community, streamlining the creation and management of digital assets.

In addition, Mint has just announced its initial $MINT airdrop, distributing 10% of the total supply to real supporters who have actively contributed to the community. The eligibility check opens on March 1st, 2025 (8:00 UTC), while claiming starts on March 7th, 2025 (6:00 UTC). By excluding bots and Sybil participants, Mint ensures genuine rewards for genuine users. This community-focused approach strengthens the Mint network’s potential for further growth, welcoming new projects and participants to collaborate on the platform.
