What changed? Why?

Sets Denim's Base Sepolia date-set status to Shipping and records the confirmed activation at October 21, 2026, 18:00 UTC. The exact Base Mainnet activation date and required client versions remain unconfirmed.

Inventory: 14 files mention Denim; 3 edited; 11 left as is.

  • docs/upgrades/overview.mdx: marks Base Sepolia as targeting the confirmed activation date and time.
  • docs/upgrades/denim/overview.mdx: sets Sepolia to Shipping with the confirmed date.
  • docs/upgrades/denim/migrate-from-flashblocks.mdx: states the Sepolia schedule while keeping the exact Mainnet activation date and required client versions unconfirmed.

Notes to reviewers

  • Left as is:
    • docs/upgrades/denim/200ms-blocks.mdx: Vibenet status and production-availability notes are unchanged for this date-set stage.
    • docs/specifications/b20/changelog.mdx: Denim remains Upcoming until mainnet-live.
    • docs/specifications/flashblocks.mdx and docs/base-chain/api-reference/flashblocks-api/flashblocks-api-overview.mdx: pre-fork Flashblocks deprecation warnings remain unchanged.
    • The three Denim B20 changelog feature pages: protocol behavior remains true independently of rollout status.
    • docs/build-on-base/run-a-local-devnet.mdx: local devnet activation settings are not rollout status.
    • docs/build-on-base/test-on-vibenet.mdx: Vibenet testing information remains unchanged.
    • docs/llms.txt and docs/llms-full.txt: no date-set status wording needed updating.
  • Needs a human look: None.

How has it been tested?

  • Re-ran the Denim date-set inventory; no stale Sepolia date-set wording remains.
  • node scripts/validate-docs-structure.js passed.
  • MDX lint on all three changed files passed with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
  • git diff --check passed.

The changes update Denim’s Base Sepolia rollout information across the upgrade pages. The Sepolia status in the Denim overview now conflicts with the schedule wording on the Upgrades overview and migration page; align the status before publishing.

Blocking

  1. Align the Sepolia rollout status (consistency, docs/upgrades/denim/overview.mdx L8) — suggestion posted inline
    This row labels Sepolia as “Shipping,” while the Upgrades overview and Migrate From Flashblocks page describe the October 21 activation as scheduled. Use a consistent status across these pages so readers can tell whether activation is scheduled or already shipping.
    Evidence: The Upgrades overview says “Scheduled for October 21, 2026,” and Migrate From Flashblocks says Denim “is scheduled to activate” on that date.

Approved review 5589167219 from youssefea is now dismissed due to new commit. Re-request for approval.

200ms native blocks are live on [Vibenet](/build-on-base/test-on-vibenet) for experimental developer testing. This deployment may change, and you should not rely on it for production decisions.

Denim is not active on Base Sepolia or Base Mainnet; activation times and required client versions remain undecided.
Denim is scheduled to activate on Base Sepolia on October 21, 2026 at 18:00 UTC. The Base Mainnet activation date and required client versions are not confirmed yet.
