According to Jesse Pollak (@jessepollak), the upcoming implementation of 200ms block times on the Base blockchain is highly anticipated and could revolutionize trading efficiency. This upgrade promises faster transaction processing, which is crucial for traders looking to capitalize on market movements swiftly. The reduced latency will likely enhance the appeal of Base for high-frequency trading and improve its competitive edge in the blockchain space.

According to dYdX Foundation, an upgrade will occur at block height 26,785,000, which is estimated to be on October 3rd, 2024, at 13:55 UTC. Validators and traders are advised to prepare in advance to prevent any disruptions in the system.
