The core team of Base is actively exploring the launch of a network token, viewing it as a "key lever" to promote ecosystem decentralization. The team emphasizes that this move is crucial to Base's long-term mission — to build a global economic system. Without a native token as a governance tool, Base will find it difficult to truly achieve decentralization goals and cannot fulfill the vision of building a global open financial infrastructure. This reflects the current development trend in the Layer 2 space: a gradual shift from centralized operation to community governance.
