In just two years, @base.base.eth has exploded from a quiet Coinbase Layer-2 experiment into Ethereum’s fastest-growing chain, flipping Optimism and closing in on Arbitrum with over $4 billion in TVL and 400 million lifetime transactions.
Powered by Optimism’s battle-tested OP Stack yet governed as a Stage 1 roll ZK proofs already live on testnet and Stage 2 rollout targeted for 2025, Base is no longer “just another L2”; it’s becoming the superchain’s beating heart.
What truly sets it apart is the viral flywheel: meme coins like BRETT and TOSHI draw millions of new wallets, DeFi giants (Aerodrome, Compound, Seamless) lock real yield, and then Coinbase’s 110 million users get seamlessly onboarded with zero gas prompts and native USDC.
Daily transactions routinely top 4-6 million, outpacing Ethereum mainnet most weeks, while fees stay under a cent and finality hits in seconds.
