June 15, 2023: The Base testnet is running with steady activity.
- Real transactions started appearing
- Dune Analytics launched the first public dashboard that same week
- @coinbase wrote a short blog post saying the testnet was now open for wider testing
With real activity visible, builders could see costs stay tiny and everything move quickly.
People started trying small things: sending test payments, making simple pages, sharing things with friends.
Anyone could check the progress and start building without waiting for permission.
A network only feels alive when strangers can watch it work :)
