🟦 Base Series #5 How Base Became the Most-Used L2 Base doesn’t lead in TVL. But it dominates in activity. • ~870K daily active users (4.5× Arbitrum) • ~11M daily transactions • L2’s top DEX volume share Why? Because Base built the full onboarding path: Coinbase app → wallet → Base Plus, it offers powerful tools for developers: Mini Apps, OnchainKit, Paymaster… Base wasn’t designed to look good on charts. It was built to be used. → But with this kind of scale and traction... Will regulators just watch from the sidelines? @base.base.eth

🟦 Base Series #3 How Base Generates $5M+ Monthly Base's revenue model is fully intentional. 80–87% of all fees come from priority transactions. Users pay more to get their txs processed first. The top slot alone earns 30–45% of daily revenue. The top 10 slots can bring in up to 80%. And only 5–10% of all fees go to Ethereum. The rest stays with Coinbase. This isn’t just L2 infrastructure. It’s a monetized coordination layer. → So when Base launches a token… Who captures this revenue stream? @base.base.eth @baseapp.base.eth

🟦 Base Series #2 Why Didn't Base Have a Token? Until mid-2025, Coinbase had one clear message: “No plans for a token.” Then in September 2025, Jesse Pollak said: “We’re exploring a network token.” Why the change? 1. Revenue. $185K+ daily is real business—even the SEC would notice. 2. Competition. Arbitrum and Optimism grew fast by launching tokens. Base didn’t want to fall behind. 3. Centralization pressure. Coinbase currently runs the only sequencer. That needs to change over time. → So now the question isn’t if Base will launch a token. It’s who will get it—and how.
