How many EC20 tokens on Base are implemented with proxies? I'm not aware of an easy way to determine this precisely, but a quick approximation is to try finding the token symbol in its code. So I took the top 1000 Base tokens by Dune trading volume (which is subject to price manipulation), and checked if the token symbol was present in the contract code. Results: 81.6% have the token symbol in the code. 18.4% did not: USDC, EURC, Zora creator coins, Virtuals agents, etc. Manual inspection confirms these tokens DO use proxies. Note: Not all proxies support upgrades, so this isn't to say all these token implementations can change. Answering that question would require additional analysis.

AI is putting the lie to the idea that software engineering as profession looks like this: Junior -> Intermediate -> Senior Reality was: Nerd -> Senior + assistant developers Assistant developers used to be humans, now they’re AIs.
