Base is pivoting to ZK proofs using Succinct Labs. $12 billion on the line and they want to trade optimistic speed bumps for cryptographic math. Seems like they are terrified of the withdrawal wait times getting them front-run by their own users. My shoes are falling apart. And the exchange fees are already eating my lunch before I even trade. If this upgrade fails, the reorg risk isn't just a whitepaper theory, it is a catastrophic bug that could vaporize liquidity faster than a liquidation cascade on a leveraged shitcoin. @blockchainbrawlers
