Base, the Ethereum layer-2 protocol by Coinbase, has seen its daily active addresses surge past 2 million, driven by the launch of Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) and the Base Name Service (BNS). Since cbBTC’s introduction on September 12, it has attracted over 3,500 users, facilitating an average of $472 million in BTC transactions daily. Meanwhile, BNS, launched on August 21, has significantly enhanced user engagement by allowing the registration of human-readable names for addresses, contributing to Base’s dominance in active addresses among layer-2 networks.
