Here is the big one. Base says it is beginning to explore a network token, and in crypto “exploring” usually means the train has left the station even if no timetable is posted. If Coinbase the company has $COIN, there is a tidy symmetry to Base the network eventually having $BASE. Call it the “coin everything” ethos meeting first principles: if you believe tokens are native to the internet and align networks, then the network that onboards the next wave should probably eat its own cooking. Jesse once said there were no plans for a Base token, but the team also keeps pushing boundaries, so the stance evolving to “we are exploring” fits the arc.
Polymarket currently puts the odds at about 18 percent for a 2025 launch, which sounds low for something that would be seismic. Remember, Base is already the top Ethereum L2 by daily activity without a token. That is exactly why a token could be huge. It can formalize incentives, share sequencer revenue, fund public goods, and set a blueprint for how regulated companies launch coins responsibly.
There is also the bridge angle: Base is building a bridge between Solana and Base, both directions. If they ship that cleanly before any token, it strengthens the pipes for capital to move, increases the odds that liquidity migrates to Base, and gives enterprises a more credible and secure path. For those already on chain, you can bridge today with third-party routes; a Base-built bridge would simply tighten the security model and simplify the UX.
The risk, of course, is turning the network into an airdrop farm. My take: if you are going to farm, at least farm your curiosity. Use the apps, contribute to communities, attend meetups, and understand the culture instead of spamming transactions. If and when $BASE arrives, the strongest signal will be meaningful participation, not empty activity. Either way, this will set the tone for the next cycle.
Base Begins Exploring A Network Token
The network confirmed it is exploring a token. No timeline yet, but the door is open. Odds of a 2025 launch sit around 18 percent on Polymarket.
