FAULT PROOFS ARE NOW LIVE ON BASE MAINNET

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Base has deployed fault proofs on its mainnet, enabling permissionless state validation and marking a significant step toward Stage 1 decentralization. The implementation allows any participant to propose claims about the chain state and challenge potentially fraudulent claims within 3.5 days, with successful challengers receiving economic incentives. Base plans to achieve full stage 1 decentralization in the coming months with a decentralized security council for protocol upgrades, with Stage 2 developments in 2025 through multiple fault proof implementations and improved state validation standards.
