BASE'S NEXT CHAPTER

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Base is evolving from a blockchain into a comprehensive open stack featuring Base Chain (now 10x faster with 200ms block times), Base Build for developers, and the new Base app – an everything app that transforms Coinbase Wallet into a social platform where every post is a coin that can be bought, enabling creators to earn from day one. The ecosystem includes Base Account as a universal sign-in for the open internet and Base Pay for USDC express checkout, launching with Shopify partnership to bring crypto payments to millions of merchants with 1% cashback.
