“Base App Ditches Creator Rewards to Double Down on Trading Supremacy” — what this page in the network covers. Base, the Ethereum Layer-2 network backed by Coinbase, is sunsetting its Creator Rewards program to sharpen its focus on trading functionalities. Jesse Pollak, Base's creator, stated the need to "do less, better" after observing the network's performance post-public launch in December. This strategic pivot shifts resources from incentivizing content creation towards enhancing the core trading experience, including optimizing transaction speed, cost-efficiency, and overall infrastructure for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
While this move may necessitate adaptation for existing creators, it signals Base's intent to become a leading platform for efficient and low-cost digital asset trading. By concentrating on its strengths, Base aims to carve out a competitive niche in the crowded Layer-2 market, leveraging its connection with Coinbase to attract users seeking a robust trading environment.
