Guess how much SO2 you need in the stratosphere to offset 108.7M tons of CO2?
We need just 108.7 metric tons of SO2—the weight of one Boeing 757.
For context, that’s roughly the same amount of SO2 already emitted annually by just one large airport like BWI (Maryland). We’re talking about using the equivalent of one airport’s sulfur output to neutralize the warming of a 30GW national power fleet for data centers.
@MakeSunsets balloons make this possible today for $108.7 million at the current retail price of $1/gram of SO2 deployed in the stratosphere, which offsets the warming effect of 1 metric ton of CO2 for a year. As we scale, we can get it down to $0.01/gram deployed.

A new, unified stack for Base Chain
Excited to share that we are evolving our technical roadmap, consisting of our own spec, code, and infra to accelerate the foundation of Base. This shift gives us the autonomy to ship protocol improvements more frequently and focus our resources on scaling to 1 gigagas/s.
What this means for builders:
- Higher Velocity: Targeting 6 hardforks per year to get you new features and fixes faster.
- Massive Scale: Targeting 1 gigagas/s to support high-throughput apps without congestion.
- Extreme Reliability: Targeting 99.99% non-empty blocks and predictable, low fees.
- Simpler Design: A maximally simple spec that’s easier to audit and build on.
Along with this, we will take a more active role in managing our own upgrade schedule and stack: allowing us to build what the ecosystem needs, at the speed it needs, while remaining deeply aligned with Ethereum.

Base is currently experiencing intermittent transaction inclusion delays on mainnet. Users will notice higher than usual latency for transaction inclusion.
Blocks continue to be produced and transactions are being processed.
This is our top priority and we’ll update our status page as we roll out fixes: status.base.org

VI. Consider ending global warming
Are you one of those billionaires who cares about global warming? Well, great, you’re a billionaire, which means it wouldn’t be very hard for you to spend a bit of money and actually lower the temperature of our planet via stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, ocean seeding, building out an absolute shit ton of air capture storage tech (this actually would be kind of hard, and more expensive, and more boring), or a giant solar sunshade (crazier, a little more dangerous, seems like it could also destroy all life on Planet Earth actually so idk).
Geoengineering is admittedly a wild field, but a lot of the research checks out. Put your money where your mouth is, and launch an initiative to lower the temperature. At the very least, if you aren’t going to actually fund a secret strategy for deploying these technologies, fund a DARPA-like research institution, bring all the mad scientists together, and let them cook. Bonus, this stuff doubles as a strategy for terraforming Mars, so there’s a chance Elon’s already on top of it. I’d text him and ask first before you make this one your new identity.
Thanks for calling this out @micsolana!

We think the future of onchain accounts is multi address, and we'll need better primitives to get there. Excited to share our Associated Account spec erc8092.xyz
Please check it out and give feedback.
