Base was originally built on Optimism's OP Stack and was the largest chain in the OP Superchain by TVL. On February 18, 2026, Coinbase announced Base would migrate to a unified, Base-operated stack, giving it full control over its codebase and enabling six hard forks per year rather than approximately three. Base's TVL has surpassed $5.57 billion, representing approximately 46.6% of all Ethereum L2 DeFi TVL, making it the largest L2 by DeFi TVL. Institutions and protocols that have integrated with Base include Aave, Chainlink, Stripe, Visa, and JPMorgan.

Base activated the Beryl upgrade on June 26, 2026, introducing the B20 native token standard for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, reducing Ethereum withdrawal time from seven to five days, and incorporating Reth V2, which cuts node storage by up to 50%. On December 4, 2025, Base and Coinbase launched a cross-chain bridge to Solana secured by Chainlink CCIP, enabling bidirectional movement of SOL, SPL tokens, and arbitrary cross-chain messages. At BaseCamp 2025 on September 15, 2025, founder Jesse Pollak and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced that Base is exploring a native network token, reversing a prior stance of no token plans, with no specifics on timing, design, or governance shared publicly.
