Wu said that according to the Base engineering team blog, Base will integrate the key components running the network into its own unified codebase. Node operators will need to follow Base's release versions instead of directly following Optimism's versions. In the coming months, Base will gradually detach from OP Stack but will still collaborate with Optimism as an OP Enterprise client. The official said this move will increase the upgrade frequency from three times a year to six times, and in subsequent hard forks, promote upgrades from optimistic proofs to TEE/ZK proofs, while maintaining Stage 1 Rollup status and adding an independent signer to the Base Security Committee. Base is the most revenue-generating L2 within OP Stack, which also means that as Base becomes independent, it may no longer share sequencer revenue with Optimism.
