Base Q2 Roadmap Targets Speed, Privacy, and Developer Growth

Base has laid out an ambitious roadmap for Q2, aiming to solidify its role as a key player in the on-chain economy.

Shared in a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), the roadmap focuses on performance upgrades, stronger privacy protections, and expanding developer adoption.

A standout goal is cutting effective block times on Bases mainnet to just 200 milliseconds. If achieved, this could significantly boost network speed and improve the overall user experience.

Base also plans to increase its blockspace capacity from 30 to 50 million gas per second. Reaching “Stage 1 decentralization” is another major objective, aimed at improving both network resilience and security.

Privacy-Preserving Identity and Security Challenges

The team is also working on on-chain account verification with built-in privacy features. In a space where transparency and pseudonymity often clash, this move signals a push toward more secure, user-controlled identity systems.

However, not everything is smooth sailing. The roadmaps emphasis on Base MCP (Modular Crypto Platform) tooling has raised security concerns. Recent reports, including one from BeInCrypto, highlight vulnerabilities in current MCP implementations that could allow hackers to redirect crypto transactions without users noticing.

“This threat stems from compromised MCP modules,” said Superoo7, head of Data and AI at Chromia. “They could trick Base-MCP into sending funds to the wrong destination.”

Supporting Builders and Scaling the Ecosystem

Base remains focused on community engagement and developer support. Programs like Base Batches, Buildathons, and Builder Rewards will continue through Q2. These initiatives aim to help developers turn ideas into apps—and apps into businesses.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong voiced support for the roadmap, underscoring Coinbase‘s ongoing commitment to Base’s growth. As a Layer-2 solution gaining serious traction, Base is positioning itself as a go-to platform for builders and users alike.
