Despite the bearish market for Ethereum, the layer 2 scaling solution, Base, is witnessing robust activity. Recent data highlights the sharp contrast between Ethereum’s market sentiment and the high volume of Base transactions. The trend indicates the underlying strength of Ethereum’s ecosystem, with users remaining active on its scaling solutions.
The outlook for Ethereum is bearish, with the current price being around $1,819.89, down by about 47% compared to last year. Small, recent rallies haven’t been able to gain momentum. Weak network activity and macroeconomic factors further reduce the optimism. Increased competition and investor doubt also impact Ethereum, making its comeback challenging. Overall market conditions are negative, making it difficult for Ethereum to regain momentum.
Base’s Record Activity
Base has performed well, with about 6.9 million transactions daily, despite the bear market for Ethereum. Built on the OP Stack, it is low-cost and effective, and user traffic is driven by apps like Friend.tech.
Base leads in value transferred, with a market share of 55% compared to competitors like Arbitrum and Optimism. Its dominance in trading fees further underscores its strong market position. Its ongoing usage is also a testament to Base’s potential to revolutionize Ethereum’s ecosystem with innovative uses and scalable solutions, demonstrating its increasing usage and market power.
How Base is Redefining Blockchain Efficiency
Base innovations are revolutionizing the blockchain ecosystem. With a gas rate of 30 Mgas/s and median transaction prices at $0.0014, users can execute over 700 transactions for $1. Higher weekly capacities enhance scalability, making it attractive for developers and users.
