The Coinbase-incubated Ethereum layer-2 network says the Azul testnet introduces multiproofs, a change aimed at improving how the system verifies data as it pursues greater decentralization.
Base, the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum layer-2 network, has launched its Azul testnet upgrade and said the release includes multiproofs (cryptographic proofs combining several checks). According to the provided statement, the upgrade is intended to help advance decentralization, a key goal for blockchain networks seeking to reduce reliance on centralized operators. On Ethereum layer-2 systems, proof-related upgrades can improve how transaction data and state changes are verified while maintaining alignment with the underlying Ethereum blockchain.
