Base releases its first independent network upgrade, Azul, scheduled to activate on the mainnet on May 13
Foresight News reported that Base has announced its first independent network upgrade, Base Azul, is now live on the testnet, with a target mainnet activation date of May 13, 2026. This upgrade marks Base's first network-level upgrade independent from OP Stack. According to the official statement, Azul will improve security, performance, and developer experience in three ways: Base will enable a multi-proof mechanism through Azul, base-reth-node will become its sole execution client, and it will adopt the latest execution layer specification (Osaka) to maintain consistency with Ethereum. Users are not required to take any action for this upgrade.
In addition, Base announced that the next two upgrades are expected to focus on performance at the end of June and user experience at the end of August. In mid-May, Base will also launch Base Vibenet, a public development network for developers to test upcoming features and provide early feedback.
