Base has achieved a significant milestone by processing over $62 billion in USDC transaction volume last week, marking the highest volume ever processed on the platform within a seven-day period. This achievement has positioned Base as the leading chain in weekly USDC volume for the first time. Additionally, Base received approval for a grant request of 3 million OP tokens, approximately equivalent to $5 million USDC, from Optimism Governance. The grant will initiate an incentive program aimed at rewarding DeFi builders on Base for enhancing their ETH and BTC total value locked (TVL). More details about the incentive program will be released soon, with a focus on promoting sustainable TVL rather than one-time farming activities.
