Coinbase's Base network has achieved a total value locked (TVL) of $10 billion, driven by the efforts of Jesse Pollak. Since its launch in 2023, Base has emerged as a leading layer-2 network, attracting users with its low transaction fees and a robust ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and social projects. In 2025, the network's growth has been significantly bolstered by platforms like Aerodrome Finance and Zora. Pollak has hinted at the possibility of introducing a native token, which could further enhance the network's appeal and functionality.
