4. Coinbase can make all USDC transactions on Base 100% free. This would immediately make Base the best payments layer in the world, and attract a whole lot of liquidity and applications to the Base rollup and USDC.

On Ethereum, an increase in demand leads to higher fees. In zk rollups, an increase in demand leads to lower fees. This is why zk rollups solve Ethereum scalability.

It does kind of feel like cheating, because if the US government issued a stablecoin, it wouldn't be able to earn interest on the stablecoins held by other people. In a way, Circle (and other stablecoin issuers) have figured out a legal way of double spending money.

This allows Coinbase to compete directly with Visa and Mastercard, and even better, provide 0% fees as they do it. Combined, Visa and Mastercard do about $17T in transaction volume (2021 figs). Their average fee is ~0.26%, giving them a whopping $44B in yearly revenue.

It’s amazing how Ethereum upgrades still haven’t reached most people who know about crypto. Unlike bitcoin halvenings, Ethereum upgrades have little awareness. PoS wasn’t priced in. EIP4844 is not priced in. If you know about Dencun, you have alpha.

If I'm right in predicting that Coinbase will make USDC transactions on Base gas free, then we can expect Base to be not one of the neglected rollups, but one of the highest liquidity rollups, if not the highest.

Are you using metamask to send transactions? You're probably paying too much in gas! Metamask sets the default (market)🦊 priority fee to 1.5 gwei, low🐢 to 1 gwei, aggressive🦍 to 2 gwei. In reality, you need about 0.2 gwei for your priority fee! even that is usually too much.

Coinbase has a huge competitive advantage over Visa and Mastercard, the ability to double spend. They can gain interest on a user's funds whilst allowing them to be spent at the same time! Visa and Mastercard can only charge a fee when a user transacts.

On the Base rollup, Coinbase determines what price users pay for transactions, and they in turn, manage their books so that they make enough to pay for settling on Ethereum. Rollups typically charge more in gas fees then the total settlement cost, in order to make a profit.

Overall, the additional throughput and cost reduction it provides for rollups is a huge benefit, reducing costs by approximately 100x! EIP-4844 is crucial for achieving Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap, and being able to scale for the next 100 million users.

This has led to demand for separate use cases but we are still using the same blockspace (toilet) to handle both types (piss & poop). To solve this, EIP-4844 proposes adding ~1 mb data blobs (urinals) to each block.

@rayzhueth

This gives more space for data and allows it to operate under a different fee market from transactions. So even if gas fees are high, data can still be cheap because blob gas is separate. Aka, even if a lot of people need to poop, people can still piss if they need to.

Blob data is much more efficient because: • Data (piss) stored in blobs doesn’t need to be stored forever, and can be pruned by nodes after 1 month • Transactions (poop) are more persistent, and will stay for longer.

This is inefficient because pissers don’t require the same level of sturdiness and flow rate that poopers do. To solve this, we can add urinals, which can only be used by pissers.

Blockspace has historically been taken up mostly by transactions, but with the rise of L2s, calldata has been taking up more blockspace. L2s use calldata to store their data onchain so that they can inherit the security of L1.
