I don’t understand the point of rebuilding the same dark patterns on new infrastructure

Ooh interesting take, can you go into more detail on why you feel this way?

Having a custodian is a dark pattern. They always get a final say as to what I can or can’t do. Base seems great in a lot of ways but it relies on custodian at the end of the day. 

When I can’t get root control, if I want it, then it’s just more of the same to me

To be fair I read this as buil on base originally as I wasn’t paying close enough attention but I basically feel the same though I’m assuming I can still exit the chain with my base based items? If not then double down on my above answer.

While I get the skepticism of Base originating from a centralized entity, I do think they’re going about it in a decentralized manner, especially by building on top of the OP stack.

What else do you think they should they be doing?

I stopped looking at their docs with their wallet release, I can definitely update my opinion though, and I appreciate you telling me where I may be wrong 🙏🏼. I can’t use anything on optimism though regardless since my stack requires USDC on eth or polygon to have a direct off-ramp through our card product
