Base, a prominent Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain, has seen significant activity over the past week, with 30 million transactions and 4 million unique addresses. It has led smart contract deployments for the past two months, accounting for more than half of all contracts rolled out in August. The Base team, led by Jesse Pollak, is actively encouraging builders to join the platform, hosting events such as Base Builder Friday at 10am PT / 1pm ET to foster community engagement. Several projects, including those by Aave, MorphoLabs, and MoonwellDeFi, have grown their businesses on Base since the beginning of the year. Additionally, another project on Base is set to be listed on Coinbase, highlighting the ecosystem's innovation and growth. Onchain events triggered by key interactions offer valuable insights into the platform's dynamics.
