Base

The market doesn’t seem to accept OP is Base’s token. When Jesse was on Bloomberg recently, even Mike Novogratz asked multiple times when Base will launch a token.

Are people just cynical about the relationship between Base <> Optimism? 

What am I missing?

Most people I know think that Base will launch their token in 2-3 yrs. Wdyt?

Same, would love them to stay in the OP family.

I understand the other POV, though. If Base grows much more than other OP Stack chains, they might decide to skip the "Superchain fee" and issue a token adding a few billions to Coinbase's balance sheet.

I think the more other OP Stack L2s grow, the better as Base would be incentivized to stay in the ecosystem.

The more tokens we introduce the more fragmented our ux becomes, imo. I also think Base has done an incredible job at incentivising and supporting builders without dangling a potential airdrop ( & obvi OP has also helped them with this retroPGF etc). I would prefer to see more cohesiveness in the OP ecosystem
