🟢 Overview of Base Network
đź“ŤKey Features
- Built on the OP Stack (the same open-source framework used by Optimism)
- Uses Optimistic Rollups to bundle thousands of transactions off-chain and post only minimal data to Ethereum mainnet
- Fully EVM-equivalent → developers can port Ethereum dApps with little or no code changes
- Gas fees typically under $0.01 (often <$0.001 after Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade in 2024)
- No native token – uses ETH for gas (no pre-mine, no team allocation)
- Part of the Optimism “Superchain” vision: multiple L2 chains that are interoperable and share revenue/security
đź“ŤGrowth & Stats (as of mid-November 2025)
- Total Value Locked (TVL): ~$2.5–2.8 billion (usually ranks #3–#4 among all L2s)
- Daily active addresses: 800K–1.2M
- Daily transactions: 2–4 million
- Cumulative transactions since launch: >2 billion
- Over 500+ dApps and protocols live on Base
