Base’s plan to introduce proof of failure this month aims to achieve decentralization
According to The Block, the Base team announced that it will implement permissionless proof of failure on October 30, in order to decentralize the network and eliminate single-entity control.
Base is an Ethereum second-layer platform incubated by Coinbase, which will implement permissionless proof of failure on October 30, aiming to decentralize the network and eliminate single-entity control.
“Proof of failure will launch on October 30 on the Base mainnet, marking a key milestone on the path to decentralization,” Base said.
Base was launched in August 2023, built on Optimism’s OP Stack software, and is now the second-layer platform with the largest total value locked on Ethereum.
The introduction of proof of failure on Base is inspired by a similar deployment on Optimism’s OP Mainnet. Both chains are part of the Superchain ecosystem, which also includes other projects such as Zora, Mode, and Fraxtal.
Base highlights its collaboration with Optimism, making the Proof of Failure upgrade possible. Proof of Failure, as a mechanism of Ethereum’s second-layer network, allows users to dispute potential fraud or erroneous transactions.
Before this upgrade, only a centralized proposer could submit output roots regarding the state of the Base network. This required users to trust operators to accurately report the state root to the main network.
With Proof of Failure, any participant can claim a specific state of Base and dispute invalid withdrawals, thus strengthening the security of the network.
