Base is exploring plans to launch its own token, network creator 
Jesse Pollak confirmed Monday at the BaseCamp event — a move that could supercharge usage on Ethereum’s most active layer-2 chain. But he emphasized it’s still early days.
What’s the Scoop?
- Token Incoming? Base is “exploring a network token,” Pollak said, marking a shift from Coinbase’s original 2023 stance that it had no token plans.
- Early Stage: Pollak stressed there’s no firm timeline yet. The team will build the token on
Ethereum and work with U.S. regulators on compliance for distribution. - Airdrop Chatter: While no details were confirmed, speculation is already mounting around a potential airdrop as users rush to farm eligibility.
