According to @jessepollak on Twitter, the Base network is set to launch a major upgrade that promises transaction speeds up to 10 times faster. This significant infrastructure improvement is expected to enhance user experience for DeFi trading, NFT minting, and on-chain applications, potentially increasing trading volumes and reducing latency for traders. The faster performance could make Base more competitive with other Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, drawing more liquidity and activity to its ecosystem (source: @jessepollak, Twitter, May 12, 2025).

According to MinswapLabs on Twitter, Minswap has launched its new Instant Swaps feature, enabling same block batching for transactions. This upgrade allows traders to execute swaps with significantly reduced latency, making Cardano DEX trading faster and more efficient. The enhancement is expected to improve trading strategies that rely on speed, reduce slippage, and attract higher trading volumes to the Cardano ecosystem. As Cardano’s DeFi infrastructure becomes more responsive, the development may also increase Cardano’s appeal to crypto traders seeking low-latency decentralized exchange solutions.
