Most people still think $Base is ‘just another L2’
2026 is going to hurt.
Most L2s look the same on paper.
But if you’ve been paying attention in 2025, Base is quietly becoming the most unique—and dangerous—Ethereum scaler out there.
Here’s why Base is in a league of its own.
Coinbase is the cheat code
No other L2 has a top-3 global exchange as its builder + primary sequencer.
Coinbase has 110M+ verified users, fiat on-ramps in 100+ countries, and the smartest compliance team in crypto.
That’s an unfair distribution & liquidity advantage.
Revenue flywheel nobody talks about
$Base already does >$20M/month in sequencer revenue (Nov 2025).
100% of it goes back into the ecosystem via grants, dev tools, and on-chain creator programs.
Most L2s burn or keep revenue. Base reinvests it aggressively.
The “normie on-ramp” is solved
Coinbase Wallet + Smart Wallet (account abstraction built-in) = zero seed phrases for new users.
