Unlocking the Power of Base Network: A Deep Dive into Layer 2 Ethereum

If you’re a crypto enthusiast looking to explore the latest developments in the world of decentralized finance, you’ve probably heard about the Base network. This Layer 2 Ethereum solution, incubated at Coinbase, has been making waves in the industry. Let’s take a closer look at what Base has to offer and why it’s gaining traction among users:

Surging Total Value Locked (TVL)

– Base network’s total value locked has doubled since the start of March
– DeFiLlama reports a TVL of nearly $1 billion on Base
– Aerodrome, a decentralized exchange, contributes significantly to Base’s TVL
– Aerodrome’s TVL has seen a significant increase, fueled by user activity and Aero token value surge

The Birth of Aerodrome on Base

– Velodrome Finance introduced Aerodrome on Base as a forked version in September 2023
– The aim is to enhance on-chain liquidity and facilitate a large volume of swaps on the network
– Similar strategy to Velodrome on OP Mainnet, leveraging DeFi incentives and vote-escrowed governance

Rise of Base Network

– Public launch of Base mainnet in early August 2023
– Currently the fourth most valuable Layer 2 blockchain in terms of TVL
– Experiencing a surge in daily users and transactions post Dencun upgrade

Base, a Layer 2 Ethereum network incubated at Coinbase, saw its total value locked (or user deposits) surge to nearly $1 billion — doubling the network’s deposits since the start of March, which stood at $470 million.

According to DeFiLlama, the network’s TVL stands at $970 million. Decentralized exchange Aerodrome accounts for nearly half of Base’s TVL, contributing $424 million. Aerodrome’s TVL surged from $125 million in early February to now over $420 million, following an uptick in user activity on the exchange and a major spike in the value of its native Aero token.

The development team at Velodrome Finance (a decentralized exchange on OP Mainnet) introduced Aerodrome on Base as a forked version in September 2023.

Its aim is to improve on-chain liquidity on Base as well as process a large portion of swaps on the network. This approach is similar to its strategy on OP Mainnet with Velodrome, which involves using a set of decentralized finance incentives and vote-escrowed governance.

The Base mainnet became publicly available in early August 2023 and has since risen to become the fourth most valuable Layer 2 blockchain in terms of TVL, trailing other networks like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Blast. The Layer 2 network recorded a sudden spike in daily users and transactions, reaching record highs shortly after the Dencun upgrade.
