Welcome to the Base Ecosystem Museum. This guide covers the technology, culture, and builders that define Base — plus how to navigate the exhibitions on the main floor.
01
Heyrune presents Base as a living technological movement — not a single product, but an ecosystem of protocols, builders, culture, and intelligence unfolding onchain. Scroll the main exhibition to move through time, from early milestones to the AI frontier.
02
Heyrune is curated by Ilya Kalashnikov (@rapkuryers) — a Base developer who has shipped in the ecosystem for years. After his previous Twitter account was suspended without explanation, he relaunched on X and built this museum to document Base culture, protocols, and builders. The project is open source and growing in public.
03
Base is built to be the fastest EVM chain in production. Flashblocks — sub-blocks every 200ms, co-developed with Flashbots — deliver confirmations up to 10× faster than standard 2-second blocks. Gas capacity has scaled from ~10 Mgas/s toward 150 Mgas/s today, with a path to 400–500 Mgas/s by 2026.
04
The hottest growth lane on Base in 2025–2026: autonomous agents that pay, trade, and coordinate onchain. The x402 protocol revives HTTP 402 Payment Required — an agent requests a resource, the server responds with a price, the agent settles in USDC, and receives data. Stripe, Cloudflare, Google, and Visa are already in the ecosystem.
05
EIP-7702 (Pectra, May 2025) lets a regular EOA temporarily delegate to smart-contract code — batch transactions, pay gas in USDC, and authenticate with passkeys. Coinbase Smart Wallet and paymasters extend this into onboarding without seed phrases.
06
Base DeFi is no longer experimental — it is where liquidity, lending, and trading concentrate for the Superchain. These protocols anchor daily activity across the network.
07
Base is evolving its stack: migration from OP Stack components toward a proprietary sequencer built on Reth (replacing geth), fault proofs for decentralized verification, and Flashblocks that fix transaction ordering to reduce toxic MEV.
08
EIP-4844 blobs lowered L1 data costs, but Base still wins for high-frequency activity — agents, games, and consumer apps that need sub-cent fees at scale.
09
The main floor is organized as exhibitions: a horizontal timeline of seven milestones, protocol cards grouped by category, a builders index with outbound links, and a closing hall on culture and the future of Base. Use the sidebar here to jump between topics, or return home and scroll.
