Base just cut effective confirmation time from 2 s to 200 ms with Flashblocks.
In traditional web services, a single backend upgrade benefits only one operator.
On Ethereum, the architecture provides a vastly superior dynamic:
• Modular rollups: Flashblocks is open. Any OP Stack or Arbitrum Orbit chain can adopt it. UX upgrades aren’t siloed.
• Shared settlement: Those chains still anchor to Ethereum, preserving liquidity and trust.
The difference, in a nutshell, is that Ethereum doesn’t just scale vertically by optimizing a single stack. It scales horizontally by enabling independent teams to compete, compose, and share improvements — without breaking trust guarantees.
Traditional web services can’t replicate that. Its silos are structural.
