Base founder Jesse Pollak says Base is exploring the issuance of native tokens

Base founder Jesse Pollak announced at the BaseCamp event that the Layer 2 network is exploring the issuance of native tokens, but he also reminded that it is still in its early stages. The token will be built on Ethereum, and Base plans to cooperate with regulators to issue and distribute tokens. Launched by Coinbase in 2023, Base has now accumulated a total of $5 billion in value, adding $1.7 billion in 2025 alone, making it the second largest Layer 2 network after Arbitrum.
