Base launches Azul upgrade on testnet

Base, the Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, has launched its first upgrade, Azul, on its testnet, Unfolded reported. The upgrade's key feature is a Multiproofs system, which adopts a hybrid approach combining Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. This system allows for block finalization with just one of the two proof types. Furthermore, if the results from both methods match, the current seven-day withdrawal waiting period can be significantly shortened to just one day.
