Base is Coinbase's OP-Stack Layer-2 that offers EVM equivalence and native account abstraction. Sequencer revenue is shared back to the Optimism Collective, and Coinbase NFTs plus USDC flows bootstrap early liquidity. The July 2023 mainnet launch attracted projects like Friend.tech and Aerodrome, pushing Base TVL above $1 billion.
Tezos is a self‑amending Proof‑of‑Stake Layer‑1 that supports on‑chain governance, letting token holders adopt protocol upgrades without hard forks. Its latest ‘Mumbai’ upgrade activated Smart Rollups, allowing scalable L2s written in Rust and Wasm to inherit Tezos security. Tezos processes ~1 million contract calls daily and is popular for compliant tokenisation of securities in Europe.
