Base Founder "No Plans for Base Network Launch"

Ethereum Layer 2 network Base has clarified its position on the Base Network token.

On the 30th (local time), Base founder Jesse Pollak stated via X (Twitter), "Base is more focused on providing real solutions" and "there are no plans for a Base Network token at the moment."

He also added, "One of the advantages of Ethereum Layer 2 networks is that everything is open source, open standards, and open markets," and "we want to hear everyone's feedback on the solutions we propose."

Meanwhile, the total value locked (TVL) of Base Network has been continuously reaching all-time highs recently. According to DefiLlama data on this day, the current TVL of Base Network is recorded at $3.6 billion, surpassing Arbitrum (ARB), which was previously ranked first, by about $500 million.

In particular, the AI agent platform Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL) launched on Base Network has been receiving significant attention recently. Virtual Protocol has surged approximately 200% in the past week, attracting the interest of many investors. Founder Pollak commented on this, "It has been confirmed that AI agents are taking a large part in the recent mindshare," he said.

At the same time, tokens such as AIXBT (+336.56%) and LUNA (+128.48%) generated through Virtual Protocol have also seen rapid increases over the past week.
