We have already implemented and published this idea in EuroSys'21. The name of the paper is "Ethanos: efficient bootstrapping for full nodes on account-based blockchain"

I wrote up some much more detailed plans (including proto-EIPs) for Verkle trees and state expiry!

It's a burn experiment.
Come burn together ๐ฅ
I couldn't sell a single token from the foundation or company allocation. Made zero money. Now my runway is gone too.
Marketing didn't work. Partnerships didn't work. The x402 payment narrative didn't work.
So I'm just going to burn it all.
Full Video: Crossing the Chasm to Frictionless Payments
Rewind to Korea's first x402 event to hear from @overnance, CEO of @overprotocol / @SuperblockKR. He shared how x402 can bridge the gap to truly frictionless payments โ by focusing on smoother user experience and scalable real-world adoption.
x402 is just beggining in Korea, on @base. Stay tuned for more IRL events and project updates!

Base Korea "Daehan-Base" is hosting an official x402 event in Seoul.
Come and explore how agentic commerce models automate payments and settlements on @base, with a focus on technical architecture and practical use cases.
A practical panel discussion will cover how x402, the open source protocol by @CoinbaseDev, can be localized for Koreaโs regulatory landscape and payment infrastructure.
Meet concrete examples of x402 on Base and automated payment structures built with AP2-based agent protocols.
Welcoming Web2/SaaS developers, AI and cloud engineers, payments and fintech professionals, Web3 builders, and anyone interested in the future of onchain AI-powered payments.

Why is Over moving to Base?
With our expansion to Base underway, I wanted to share why we made this decisionโand why we are rebranding from OverProtocol to Over.
Almost two years ago, we launched OverProtocol mainnet, built on the lightweight node research (Ethanos) I developed during my PhD. Our aim was to let anyone run a node on everyday hardware. For 10 months we operated the chain, and we even built a simple wallet that at its peak had 5.8M users and 1.8M MAU.
We thought that lowering barriers alone would bring blockchain to the masses. But we learned that wasnโt enough. Ease of access doesnโt guarantee growth if the ecosystem itself doesnโt thrive. What people really need are assets they can recognize, understand, and value.
Thatโs when we realized: our mission isnโt about clinging to a protocolโitโs about the mission itself. Our mission is to maximize the value of idle resources. To fulfill that, we donโt need to operate our own L1. We need to meet users where they are and create value at the service layer.
Thatโs why OverProtocol has become simply Over. Over is more than just a nameโitโs the spirit of what we do. It represents our drive to help people overcome barriers, over-extend utility, and over-deliver value from everything they already have. In that sense, Over is the very embodiment of our mission.
Weโve already started down this path. With OverFlex, we let users trade assets they knowโgifticons, K-Beauty vouchers, tickets. We made onboarding easier with a reward model: watch ads, earn coins, and use them directly. Today, OverFlex operates in 191 countries with 72,000 global MAU and 12,782 Korean MAU.
On @base , weโll go further:
Enable trading of familiar assets like vouchers, tickets, and passes.
Let users borrow against those assets, earn yield, or use them for BNPL payments.
Build real utility for both USD and KRW stablecoins, then expand globally once proven.
Use Koreaโs global cultural influence (K-Culture) as a launchpad to scale faster.
And soon, weโll launch another service to unlock even more opportunities. Our vision is for people to put all their everyday resourcesโtime, computing power, tickets, vouchers, and passesโto work. Not just as digital tokens, but as meaningful assets in daily life.
Our mission hasnโt changed. Whatโs changed is our approach. Weโre no longer focused on building infrastructure for its own sake. Weโre focused on building Overโa layer of services that turns idle potential into real value.
Thatโs why Over is moving to Base. And this is only the beginning. Stay tunedโweโll be sharing more details soon.
OverProtocol has grown with a clear mission: to maximize the value of any resources. To achieve this, we built:
OverScape, which transforms computing power into value,
Reward, which turns peopleโs time into value, and
OverFlex, a commerce app that enhances the value of digital assets people purchase.
Yet, to fully realize this mission, we recognized the need to expand into a broader ecosystem. After careful evaluation, we found that the @base chain aligns most closely with our vision and philosophy. Base not only offers a diverse ecosystem of applications where we can generate powerful synergies, but it also emphasizes commerce apps and real users. With the strong support of Base Korea, we were able to reach this decision quickly and with confidence, setting the stage for us to accelerate our growth and deliver on our mission.
That is why we are migrating to Base. There, we aim to serve as an entry layer for onboarding everyday users, making blockchain more approachable and familiar to them. At the same time, we want to create an environment where people can expand their leverage and opportunities within the ecosystem. We will begin in Korea, our home country, by making K-Culture more accessible on Base and turning it into new forms of value.
We are truly excited about this collaboration and the new chapter ahead in our journey!
1/ Today I met @overnance, the founder of @overprotocol.
2/ He completed his undergraduate to doctoral studies at Seoul National University and founded @DecipherGlobal, one of Koreaโs flagship blockchain research communitiesโwhere many of todayโs Web3.0 leaders first emerged.
3/ His vision is to bring real-world economic payments onto an onchain economic layer, enabling richer financial functionality.
4/ Starting with K-beauty treatment vouchers, he is expanding into lodging, F&B, and other assets, aiming to build a digital asset marketplace deeply embedded in everyday life.
5/ He doesnโt need to develop or even work, yet the vision he has shaped over years of time and experience now drives him toward making blockchain part of daily life.
I introduced him to the @baseapp.
Well done!
Even users outside of Korea can buy and resell digital vouchers to earn a profit. This is the advantage of an open market, where third parties can freely participate in transactions. Blockchain technology further simplifies this process on a global scale! ๐
