With a focus on easy-to-use developer tools and apps, Base aims for $100 billion in assets and a stronger global presence by 2025.
On January 17, the Base blockchain explained its plan for the year, targeting $100 billion in on-chain assets by October 2025. The roadmap aims to increase developer participation, expand its user base, and develop on the scalability of its blockchain infrastructure.
The platform has set specific goals, including onboarding 25,000 developers, onboarding 25 million users, achieving $100 billion in on-chain assets, and increasing the capacity of the block to 250 million units of gas per second (Mgas/s). In blockchain terminology, “gas” represents the computing resources required to perform transactions, while Mgas/s measures the network's ability to process transactions efficiently.
Base's strategy for 2025 is based on five key areas outlined in its official blog: providing tools for builders, developing a wide range of onchain apps, increasing user ownership use through integrated accounts, establishing a global liquid capital market, and scaling the platform to be accessible worldwide. .
Base, founded by Coinbase in 2023, is a cover-2 solution on Ethereum (ETH). It improves scalability and efficiency while benefiting from the security and decentralization of ETH. By providing a faster and more cost-effective platform for decentralized applications, Base offers a practical solution for developers and users in the blockchain space.
Base currently ranks sixth among major blockchain platforms, with $4.7 billion in total value locked (TVL), which accounts for 2.23% of the blockchain ecosystem, according to DeFiLlama. ETH leads the ecosystem with 62.67% dominance, followed by Binance Smart Chain (BNB) at 3.75% and Solana (SOL) at 9.05%. Base has 1.15 million active addresses and recently reported a 2.72% increase in weekly activity.
In a recent development, Base partnered with South Korean crypto exchange Korbit to integrate the Base Chain into its platform. This integration enables Korbit users to make multi-chain deposits and withdrawals, increasing cross-chain functionality for platform users.
In addition, Ghost wallet has expanded to Base, providing full integration after beta phase. This allows users to trade in ETH and USDC (USDC), and change signals over Base, ETH, SOL, and Polygon (POL). The Phantom integration enhances functionality within the Base ecosystem, supporting dApps and NFTs while providing security features such as spam detection and transaction simulation.
