Most people think Layer 2 scaling is purely about lowering gas fees, but if you actually build EVM dApps, you know the real bottleneck is execution latency. Lower fees are great, but a 2-second block time still feels sluggish when building high-frequency applications. Let’s talk

AI visual note: An infographic titled "FLASHBLOCKS ON BASE" comparing traditional rollups (2-second latency) with Flashblocks streaming architecture (~200ms perceived latency), illustrating how Base achieves sub-second pre-confirmations and web2-grade responsiveness for high-frequency dApps like DEXs, orderbooks, and micropayments. The post highlights execution latency—not just gas fees—as the real bottleneck for L2 scaling, which the image directly addresses by showcasing Flashblocks as an architectural shift delivering real-time UX while preserving L1 security.
