- Base’s TVL has risen to $ 4 billion with faster transactions and fewer and decentralized fees.
- The basis challenges the ability to expand Ethereum with ambitious performance promotions and decentralization plans, and looks forward to L2 dominance.
The rule ascends.
By climbing TVL again to the highest levels in late 2014, Coinbase’s 2 layer runs operating keys to reduce fees, accelerate transactions, and give the decentralized character to its Mainnet infrastructure from Ethereum.
However, as Ethereum continues to face the challenges of expansion, the real question is – can the primary transition from fast followers to a player in the dominant layer 2?
Seeing a bold base for the future
Jesse Pollack Latest x post Drawing a paid road map: under 200 millimeters confirmation times, sub -fees, output in 200 transactions per second.
But it is not only about speed, it looks.
Pollak emphasized neutrality – eliminating sandwiches attacks and giving builders – as well as plans to give an decentralized character to the basic infrastructure in two phases.
When asked if the base could reach a million TPS ever, return it from one-word – It was not framed as a joke.
TVL counterattacks – but can the momentum stick to?
TVL’s Base exceeded $ 4 billion for the first time since December 2024, indicating the renewal of the investor’s confidence.
Earlier in 2025, the network witnessed a long liquidity plateau amid uncertainty in the market. However, the May increase indicates that modern protocol promotions and the most powerful focus on decentralization began to get traction.
However, the challenge he faces is to convert TVL mutations into continuous economic activity. Without keeping the long -term user and adopting an organic construction, even this last liquidity boost can be more periodic than structure.
Rapid up to the base
Ethereumm[ETH] It does not stand steadfast. The last Pectra upgrade brought moderate gains in the ability to expand – enhance BLOB output and push the smart contract portfolio forward.
In addition to the road map, Fusaka upgrade with more technical muscles through Peerdas and Verkle Trees, targeting data availability and state volume fears.
The rule, on the other hand, moves faster. With shorter confirmation times, cheaper fees, and pushing for decentralized basic processes, they offer an argument in the short term in the L2 square.
