Subblocks, formerly called Flashblocks, are incremental updates the sequencer sends while it is still building a normal block, giving apps feedback before that block is sealed.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbase-backed-base-unveils-upgrades-to-beat-solana-performance-by-double\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Coinbase-backed Base unveils upgrades aiming for double Solana's speed<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The 20% speedup carries a quiet compatibility risk. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.optimism.io\/notices\/subblocks\">Optimism's migration notice<\/a> says four fields will remain in each streamed payload but stop carrying usable data: <code>state_root<\/code>, <code>block_hash<\/code> and <code>withdrawals_root<\/code> will be all-zero values, while <code>withdrawals<\/code> will be an empty list.<\/p>\n<p>The payload type remains <code>ExecutionPayloadFlashblockDeltaV1<\/code>, so software can continue parsing the stream without raising an error.

Optimism's <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.optimism.io\/op-stack\/features\/subblocks\">technical explainer<\/a> says direct stream consumers should treat the zeroed state root and block hash as absent and derive preconfirmed state by executing the transactions carried by the stream.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/the-ethereum-vs-solana-war-ended-quietly-not-with-a-bang-but-a-whimper\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">How the Ethereum vs Solana war ended quietly not with a bang but a whimper<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Most applications sit on the safer side of that boundary. They connect to a subblocks-aware RPC provider and use standard Ethereum methods, often with the <code>pending<\/code> tag. A correctly configured provider or node maintains its own state view, so calls such as <code>eth_getBalance<\/code> can return derived preconfirmed data without relying on a usable state root in the raw payload, according to Optimism's <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.optimism.io\/app-developers\/guides\/transactions\/integrating-subblocks\">integration guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The audit therefore falls most directly on applications that ingest the WebSocket stream themselves and on RPC providers that forward raw fields to customers. Operators need to find reads of the four affected fields, treat the placeholder roots and block hash as unavailable, and prevent those values from entering downstream state, balances or proof inputs. Providers relaying raw payloads must also notify their consumers.<\/p>\n<p>The faster cadence is already visible in provider documentation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alchemy.com\/docs\/reference\/op-mainnet-flashblocks-api-quickstart\">Alchemy's OP Mainnet guide<\/a> describes 200 ms updates through existing Optimism RPC endpoints, while <a href=\"https:\/\/status.quicknode.com\/incidents\/zwq8g5yz3hpd\">QuickNode's notice<\/a> applies the migration to its Optimism Mainnet and Sepolia JSON-RPC components.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coinbases-new-base-super-app-puts-trading-payments-social-and-ai-under-one-roof\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Coinbase\u2019s new Base &#8216;super app' puts trading, payments, social and AI under one roof<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Optimism says the Aug. 31 target for 200 ms subblocks may move and that the rollout is gradual, so there is no documented network-wide completion time. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/status.optimism.io\/\">status page<\/a> showed systems operational and no recent incident notice when checked.
