@base.base.eth in 2025 felt predictable in the best way possible: quiet building, steady shipping, and making onchain usable for normal people - not just crypto veterans.
The last months made it obvious:
• sub-second gas isn’t a promise anymore, it’s the baseline
• Coinbase lets Base-native tokens trade right inside their UI
• @baseapp.base.eth went from an invite experiment to a real social+finance layer
• and even BaseCamp speakers now openly discuss the idea of a native token
A lot of people expect December 17-18 to be "the token moment".
My take? Probably not.
A Base token makes far more sense in 2026 - once the social layer, liquidity, and app ecosystem fully mature.
December looks more like the big BaseApp unlock:
the moment it stops being a closed beta and becomes the default onchain interface for everyone entering Base.
A public SocialFi launch is a bigger catalyst than another ticker symbol.
And honestly - the infra finally feels ready.
