Base is leaving the OP Stack to build its own unified chain architecture (OP token down ~20%) The biggest takeaway is revenue. Base is the largest chain in the OP ecosystem.

But structurally, it shows that top-tier L2s will eventually outgrow shared-stack models to take full control of their own execution and economics.
