Base, a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, has experienced a 78% decline in on-chain volume since December amid the market downturn.
Only a few Base tokens remain profitable for most holders, impacting retail interest.
The question remains if this is a temporary setback or a turning point for the protocol’s growth.
Base leverages Optimistic Rollups and offers lower transaction fees and faster processing times compared to Ethereum’s mainnet, attracting attention in the blockchain space.
