Briefings

The provided evidence indicates that Base's mainnet block times will shift to 200 milliseconds starting November 5, 2026, as a result of the Flashblocks protocol's removal of subscriptions and pending-state access. This change requires developers and indexers to update their integrations to accommodate the new block times. The source material does not specify the exact number of blocks affected, the specific impact on transaction throughput, or the number of affected users, nor does it provide a timeline for the implementation of these changes.
