Original Title: "BALD: Thousandfold Overnight, Besides Meme, What Else is Worth Paying Attention to in the Base Ecology?"
Original Source: ODAILY Star Daily
On July 13th, Coinbase's Layer 2 network, Base, opened its mainnet to developers. Some tools for developers are now available on the Base mainnet. Currently, although the mainnet has started running, it has not been officially released to users. The Base mainnet is expected to be officially released in early August.
Currently, there are already basic ecological projects and assets on Base. Today, the meme leader bald on Base has caused a community uproar with a thousand-fold increase.
L2BEAT data shows that the total TVL of Base has exceeded $10 million, currently reaching $10.44 million, with a 7-day growth rate of 1024.81%.

Currently, the Base mainnet has not been officially released to the public. Perhaps people may wonder how a project that has not even released its mainnet has managed to attract funding?
The official documentation of Base shows that the official bridge of Base cannot currently be connected to the main network and is only connected to the test network. However, users can still deposit funds into L2 by manually transferring funds to the contract. (Base network can be quickly added to the wallet from chainlist.)
Users can transfer ETH to the following contract address to bridge ETH from the Ethereum mainnet to Base:
0x49048044D57e1C92A77f79988d21Fa8fAF74E97e
Currently, the most popular project is the Base project, with the meme leader, BALD, increasing by a thousand times a day. The project has been born for less than 24 hours, and according to DEXScreener data, the asset's FDV has exceeded 40 million US dollars, about 40.9 million US dollars. Liquidity has also reached 15.6 million US dollars.

And when we search for BALD on Twitter, we also discover some interesting phenomena. Some suspected robot accounts are rapidly and frequently posting the same copy. And most of these accounts have never posted any other tweets.


Except for BALD, there are currently no other assets above Base.
Currently, Base only has one active Swap trading, which is LeetSwap. On-chain data shows that LeetSwap has executed over 40,000 transactions, making it the second most traded contract on the Base chain. In addition, the contract with the highest interaction volume is Base's commemorative NFT, with over 90,000 transactions.

On LeetSwap, the assets are also relatively single. Except for the meme leader BALD, only two projects have taken shape. The native token of LeetSwap, LEET, has a FDV of about 23 million US dollars. The FDV of the Burning Brian project's BRIAN is about 710,000 US dollars. Other currencies have a market value that is too small (less than 500,000 US dollars) or a liquidity pool that is too low (less than 100,000 US dollars).
translates to:
According to the official release schedule previously announced, Base will soon be officially released in early August.
By checking its official Twitter account, we can see that Base has been conducting intensive promotional activities. Recently, it has also announced several ecological partners who will be "working" with Base. In just the past half month, projects such as Blast API, QuickNode, Blockdaemon, thirdweb, Safe, and The Graph have all announced that they have gone live on the Base mainnet.
However, a closer observation reveals that these projects are all infrastructure-type projects, providing developers with more comprehensive tools and support. But such infrastructure projects are more prone to "reinventing the wheel". Currently, Base lacks products that directly target end users, resulting in a situation where there are more "wheels" than "cars".

(Most of the official listed dApps have not been officially launched)
In the market situation where projects are scarce and assets are in short supply, it is not surprising that Base, a luxury project born with a silver spoon, has encountered the phenomenon of Meme soaring.
After the official release of Base in August, will the Base ecosystem see a truly "heavyweight" project, or will it become the next target with little value after a short-lived hype?
