The platform hires 25,000 developers, joins 25 million users, achieves $100 billion in on-chain assets, and increases blockspace capacity to 250 million gas units per second (Mgas/s). We have set specific goals such as: In blockchain terminology, “gas” refers to the computational resources required to perform a transaction, and Mgas/s measures the network’s ability to process transactions efficiently.
Base's 2025 strategy is centered around five key areas outlined on its official blog.

Founded by Coinbase in 2023, Base is a layer 2 solution on top of Ethereum (ETH). Improve scalability and efficiency while leveraging the security and decentralization of ETH. Base provides a practical solution for developers and users in the blockchain space by providing a faster, more cost-effective platform for decentralized applications.
According to DeFiLlama, Base currently ranks 6th among major blockchain platforms with a total Total Value Locked (TVL) of $4.7 billion, accounting for 2.23% of the blockchain ecosystem. ETH leads the ecosystem with a 62.67% advantage, followed by Binance Smart Chain (BNB) with 3.75% and Solana (SOL) with 9.05%. Base has 1.15 million active addresses and recently reported a 2.72% increase in weekly activity.
In a recent development, Base has partnered with South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Korbit to integrate Base Chain into its platform. This integration will enable Korbit users to perform multi-chain deposits and withdrawals, enhancing cross-chain functionality for users of the platform.
Additionally, the Phantom wallet has been extended to Base with full integration following the beta phase. This will allow users to trade between ETH and USDC (USDC) and exchange tokens between Base, ETH, SOL, and Polygon (POL). Phantom's integration enhances capabilities within the Base ecosystem to support dApps and NFTs while providing security features such as spam detection and transaction simulation.
