Base Eyes Launching Its Own Token: A Potential Game-Changer for the Ecosystem
Head of Base, Jesse Pollak, disclosed that the Base network is considering launching its own token.This revelation came during BaseCamp 2025 in Stowe, Vermont, on september 15. The move aims to transform Base from a utility chain into a comprehensive ecosystem.
The team believes this transition will allow developers direct access to the platform’s features. They emphasized operability and openness as crucial principles for Base. To bolster interoperability, the project announced an open-source bridge connecting base and Solana.
- Exploring a Base token could enhance network capabilities.
- An open-source bridge will link Base to Solana.
- Base remains committed to building on Ethereum.
Even though the team envisions meaningful changes, they remain dedicated to Ethereum. There are no intentions to convert Base into a layer-one chain. compliance with U.S. regulations will be a priority. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, echoed this sentiment but noted that definite token plans aren’t finalized.
Coinbase had previously avoided a token due to regulatory uncertainties. However, recent shifts in U.S. policies make Initial Coin Offerings more feasible. under the new SEC leadership, the risk of the Base token being classified as a security considerably decreases.
