+## WebSocket connections
+
+For real-time data streaming and event subscriptions, you can use WebSocket endpoints:
+
+### Base Mainnet
+
+| Name | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| WebSocket Endpoint | `wss://mainnet.base.org` <br/>Rate limited and not for production systems. |
+
+### Base Testnet (Sepolia)
+
+| Name | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| WebSocket Endpoint | `wss://sepolia.base.org` <br/>Rate limited and not for production systems. |
+
+:::info
+WebSocket connections are useful when you need:
+- Real-time block updates
+- Event subscriptions (e.g., contract events, new transactions)
+- Pending transaction monitoring
+- Low-latency data feeds
+
+For production systems, consider using a [node provider](/base-chain/tools/node-providers) with dedicated WebSocket support.

+
+## Block explorers
+
+### Flashblocks
+
+[Flashblocks](https://www.flashblocks.xyz/) provides real-time visualization and analysis for Base blocks and transactions. It offers:
+
+- Live block and transaction streaming
+- Detailed transaction traces
+- MEV analysis and detection
+- Advanced filtering and search capabilities
+
+Flashblocks is particularly useful for developers building MEV-aware applications or analyzing on-chain activity in real-time.
