Base: Bringing Future of Consumer Applications
Base, aiming to onboard 1B onchain users, has emerged as a hub for consumer-oriented onchain applications within a year since its mainnet launch last year, driven by factors such as reduced fees, the memecoin frenzt, and the growth of social network applications like Farcaster. Unlike other blockchain ecosystems focused on DeFi and infrastructure, Base predominantly features consumer-oriented applications similar to Web2 services. It leverages a unique community and brand to onboard more applications. While social and community applications are the most actively developed, new categories of onchain applications in content, gaming, and commerce are also emerging, indicating significant potential for user expansion.
