El nuevo estándar x402 de Coinbase es la pieza clave: permite que IAs realicen micropagos autónomos, creando una "economía de agentes".
Esto posiciona a BASE como EL hub para esta revolución. Se vienen volúmenes masivos.

Coinbase ha integrado un DEX para todos sus usuarios de EE.UU. directamente en la app principal.
Este es el puente más grande que se ha construido para traer a millones de personas al ecosistema.
#Base es la pista de aterrizaje principal.

Un jueguito muy divertido en la @baseapp, construido por un equipo argentino.
@__The__Pot__ empezó a construirse durante el hackathon de @crecimientoar, y me la mandaron después.
Si participaste y seguís dándole a tu mini app, contactame 👀
Welcome to The Pot. The rules are simple:
1️⃣ Players buy keys, adding to a growing prize pot.
2️⃣ The timer resets with every purchase.
3️⃣The last person to buy a key when time runs out wins IT ALL.
One key could change everything. Are you in?
🔛👇

The Pot is heating up! 🔥
The current prize is at 1.48 USDC and the timer is running out. Only 3 hours left!
Shoutout to @_Crypto_Nest_ current winner. Will you be the next one?
Buy a key now👀

Our mission is to create a viral mini-app and make The Pot the most-used game on the Base App and Farcast.
We believe onchain social is the future of gaming.

Goodbye EVM, Hello RISC-V
Ethereum is about to change its engine.
________________________
For Dummies:
If you’re an ordinary Ethereum user, here’s the key point: your wallet address will not change.
- Your 0x... address stays the same.
- Your ETH, tokens, and NFTs remain exactly where they are.
- Your MetaMask or any other wallet will keep working.
What does change is everything under the hood:
- Transactions become cheaper (up to 100× lower fees).
- Ethereum becomes faster (thousands of transactions per second).
- Rollup withdrawals become quicker (hours instead of a week).
- Security becomes stronger (fewer risks of protocol-level bugs).
_____________________________
For ten years, Ethereum has been powered by the EVM — the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It was revolutionary, enabling smart contracts, DeFi, and NFTs. But in a future built on zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), the EVM has become the bottleneck.
What’s wrong with the EVM?
- Slow in ZK: zkEVMs don’t prove the EVM directly; they prove an interpreter of the EVM that itself compiles to RISC-V. This adds an extra layer and results in a 50–800× slowdown.
- Overcomplicated: precompiles (hardcoded cryptographic functions) bloat the protocol and have caused near-consensus failures. Vitalik has called them “horrible.”
- Outdated design: a 256-bit stack-based machine, chosen a decade ago, is inefficient for most real-world and ZK operations compared to modern 32/64-bit register machines.
In short: the EVM was brilliant for its time, but it carries heavy technical debt that becomes unsustainable in a ZK-native world.
RISC-V
RISC-V is not a product, but an open standard for processors — a universal alphabet of instructions: simple, modular, and free. It already powers real chips and is the default backend for most zkVMs (9 out of 10).
Adopting RISC-V gives Ethereum:
- Massive speedups: direct proving without an interpreter layer.
- Cheaper fees: ~100× lower proving costs, making transactions far cheaper.
- Better developer experience: smart contracts in Rust, Go, C++, even Python, thanks to LLVM.
- Stronger security: backed by a precise, machine-readable spec (SAIL), unlike the ambiguous Yellow Paper.
- Hardware acceleration: paths for ASICs and FPGAs already being tested (Succinct SP1, Nervos, Cartesi).
Migration Path
@VitalikButerin outlines a gradual 3-step plan:
- Precompile replacement — new cryptographic functions implemented as RISC-V programs, replacing fragile EVM precompiles.
- Dual VM era — contracts can be deployed as either EVM or RISC-V, with full interoperability via system calls.
- Rosetta strategy — the EVM itself becomes a contract running inside the RISC-V VM, ensuring backward compatibility while simplifying the core protocol.
What does this mean for the ecosystem?
- Optimistic rollups: break. Their fraud proofs rely on re-executing EVM on L1. Without the EVM, they must rebuild from scratch or change models.
- ZK rollups: win big. Already standardized on RISC-V, they can integrate seamlessly with L1. Polygon, zkSync, Scroll, StarkNet all benefit (though StarkNet continues with Cairo).
- Developers: no longer limited to Solidity and Vyper. They can reuse mainstream tooling, compilers, debuggers, and libraries.
Users: transactions become cheaper, rollups finalize faster (hours not days), and Ethereum scales to ~10,000 TPS (Gigagas L1).
Ethereum is evolving from a smart contract VM into a verifiable trust layer for the entire internet.
As Vitalik puts it:
“The finish line includes… ZK-snarking everything.”
By adopting RISC-V, Ethereum aligns with the ZK-proving ecosystem, eliminates long-standing inefficiencies, and unlocks a new era where developers can bring the full power of mainstream software to the blockchain — and users benefit from faster, cheaper, and safer applications.
