Singularity

The Singularity marks the inception of a universe within the protocol, typically represented by the genesis block on the universe chain. A universe's Singularity always occurs at the local time of 0:0:0 for that universe. In contexts where multiple universes are discussed, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used as the standard reference.

As we know so far:

• Universe 1 (Ethereum): The Ethereum universe began on July 30, 2015, at 03:26:13 PM UTC.
• Universe 8453 (Base): The Base universe started on June 15, 2023, at 12:35:47 AM UTC.

Before the Singularity, there was no concept of time, space, elements, objects, or laws. It represents the moment when the expansion of time and space began, and the only existing element at that point was the universe's native token.
