- The Base mainnet has gone public.
- The mainnet was previously only open to developers.
- At the same time, users will have access to a crosschain bridge and will be able to participate in a series of Onchain Summer events.
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has opened public access to Base’s L2 solution. This is reported by CoinDesk.
With this as a backdrop, the average daily number of transactions is aiming for 1 million, according to DEXScreener data. The amount of funds locked up in Base smart contracts has reached $43.1 million, according to DeFiLama:
Data: DeFiLlama.
Reminder, Coinbase introduced a mainnet for developers in mid-July 2023. By the end of the month, despite the lack of a crosschain bridge, the volume of transactions exceeded 550,000.
In conjunction with the release of the public version of the network, the exchange is launching a series of events called Onchain Summer. Among the rewards options are commemorative NFTs.
Some decentralized exchanges have already announced Base integration. These include Uniswap and DODO.
The Incrypted team has put together a guide to the basic mainnet activity for you. Doing them entitles you to participate in a possible airdrop if the blockchain gets its own coin.
