Base

Yesterday @base secured $488m volume, the highest of any L2.

Aerodrome captured the majority of @base volume:

• 58.2% of total volume (CL + v2 vol.)
• 86% of the CL volume

Aerodrome is the engine of @base with all swap fees flowing back to veAERO voters.

New ATH in Volume Share 🛫

The graph continues its journey up and to the right, capturing 87% of CL volume on @base for two consecutive days compared to UniV3.

As always, 100% of fees are distributed to veAERO voters.

One Year On Base — Still Day One

August 9th, 2024 | Mint for 24 hours on @zora 

One year ago, 40 builders came together to launch Base from the remote location of Idyllwild. 

Since then, thousands of builders have created world-class experiences on Base. Businesses, games, social apps, restaurants, and communities have all come onchain — and one year later, we brought 400 builders back to Idyllwild with us for our very first BaseCamp.

But it's still day one.

One year in, and there are 4m transactions a day and 11m active addresses, and we’ve simultaneously driven fees down to below 1 cent. We're not going to rest until we bring a billion people onchain.

Job's not finished.

Thank you for being based.

Minted 100,000 editions of this.

If Zora is the actual next evolution of NFTs (now with Uniswap secondary markets) then this is the canonical first token from Base.
