One year upon a time on Base (May 14, 2025) Picture this: It’s a sunny spring day in 2025, and Coinbase just dropped some exciting news that made the crypto world buzz. The team behind Base, Ethereum’s friendliest Layer-2 blockchain, announced they were bringing wrapped versions of popular coins—cbXRP, cbADA, cbDOGE, and cbLTC—straight to the Base network. For anyone new to this, “wrapped” tokens are like magical suitcases that let famous cryptocurrencies travel smoothly into new worlds. Thanks to these cb-tokens, holders of XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Litecoin could soon jump into Base’s vibrant DeFi playground—lending, trading, swapping, and building without leaving the fast, cheap, and super user-friendly Base ecosystem.  Why was this a big deal? Base was already growing like crazy, but adding these well-known coins opened the doors even wider. More assets meant more liquidity, more fun experiments, and more people discovering onchain life. It was another cheerful step in Base’s mission to make crypto feel less like rocket science and more like a global party everyone’s invited to. Meanwhile, the Base crew was out in the real world that week, building the next chapter of the internet IRL while reminding everyone on X: it’s still day one. They even minted some fun, creative tokens on Zora to show what’s possible when culture lives onchain—never selling them, just sparking joy.  A year later, that announcement feels like a perfect snapshot of Base’s playful, optimistic spirit. One small bridge for tokens, one giant leap for everyday onchain fun. Who knows what adventures those wrapped coins are up to now?
