🟦 [Series #1] What Is Base

1. Base Is Not “Just Another L2” — It’s the Gateway to the Onchain Era

Base, built by Coinbase and powered by the OP Stack, isn’t simply another low-fee Ethereum L2.
It’s quickly becoming the default entry point for millions of new users and builders entering Web3.

What makes Base fundamentally different is the combination of:

① Access to Coinbase’s 100M+ user funnel

Coinbase → Base → Onchain apps
A frictionless onboarding path that no other L2 can replicate.

② Developer-friendly infrastructure + fast-growing ecosystem

OP Stack (easy to build, deploy, and scale)
Low fees, fast settlement
Exploding social and consumer apps (Farcaster, Frames, Points systems)

This is exactly why Farcaster, Frames, and onchain social apps are taking off first on Base.

③ Strong regulatory posture + brand trust

Coinbase’s reputation gives Base a unique position as the “safe, trusted” entry point for new users, institutions, and mainstream brands.

Onchain Summer, Launchpad, and Base Grants further accelerate adoption.

2. Why Base Matters Now — The Shift Toward the Onchain App Era

Web3 is transitioning from speculative cycles to real, user-facing applications that run entirely onchain.

Examples:

Farcaster
Frames (Mini Apps)
Aerodrome
Onchain Points ecosystems
Consumer apps built directly on Base

All early signals point to one trend:

“Base is becoming the center of the onchain consumer economy.”

Users create identity, activity, reputation — all tied to their wallet, not a centralized platform.
This is why tools like activity dashboards, score tracking, and onchain metrics (just like your Base Activity Checker) are becoming critical.

3. Snapshot of the Base Ecosystem (2025)

Here’s where the momentum is strongest:

🔹 Builder & Infra Layer

Base Grants

Builder badges & contribution programs

This is forming a flywheel:
Apps → Users → Builders → Liquidity → More Apps

SuperStacks: A New Approach to Rewards on the Superchain [KOR]

여러 체인이 하나로 구축되면서, 이더리움의 단편화 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 네트워크 구조가 등장하고 있습니다. 이 네트워크는 기본적으로 모듈화되고 상호 운용 가능하며 구성 가능합니다. 우리는 이를 슈퍼체인이라고 부르며, 모든 것을 바꿔놓을 것입니다.. 하지만 인프라만으로는 충분하지 않습니다. 이 공유 네트워크에 참여하는 사람들에게 보상을 제공할 새로운 방식이 필요합니다. 단일 앱이나 체인이 아닌 전체에 대한 기여를 인정하는 시스템이 필요합니다. 슈퍼체인은 장기적인 관점에서 구축하고, 그 과정에서 실험하고, 반복하고, 배우는 것을 목표로 합니다. 바로 이러한 이유로 저희는 슈퍼스택(SuperStacks)을 소개합니다 . 슈퍼스택은 기존의 고립된 인센티브 체계를 넘어 생태계 보상에 대한 보다 적극적이고 의도적인 접근 방식을 시험하는 파일럿 포인트 프로그램입니다.
