Base and Network Effects at Scale Network effects strengthen infrastructure over time. As more users transact, more developers build; as more developers build, more applications attract users. Base leverages this dynamic by combining low-cost execution with Ethereum compatibility, enabling participation without excessive friction. At scale, network effects become self-reinforcing. Liquidity deepens, tooling improves, and ecosystem knowledge compounds. This virtuous cycle increases switching costs and reinforces long-term stability, positioning the network for sustained expansion. • User growth attracts developer activity • Developer activity attracts new applications • Liquidity deepens as participation increases • Tooling improves with ecosystem maturity • Network value compounds over time
