However, it hasn&#8217;t been all smooth sailing. The platform was a target for hackers last month, enduring four significant attacks. One of the largest single frauds occurred on Magnate Finance, a lending protocol on the Base blockchain, resulting in losses worth approximately $6.4 million. Despite these setbacks, Base has continued to grow, partly due to the revival of FriendTech, which recently reached a peak of over $18.5 million in trading volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Balanced Perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From my point of view, the surge in Base&#8217;s daily transactions is a testament to the growing adoption of layer-2 solutions in the crypto space. It also highlights the potential for decentralized applications like FriendTech to drive user engagement and transaction volumes. However, the platform&#8217;s recent history of security breaches raises concerns about its long-term viability. While the increased adoption is promising, it&#8217;s crucial for Base to address these security issues to sustain its growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Role of FriendTech<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FriendTech&#8217;s revival could be a significant factor in Base&#8217;s success. The decentralized social application has attracted new users, contributing to the increased number of daily transactions on Base. However, FriendTech has had its share of troubles, including being labeled as &#8220;dead&#8221; and criticized for &#8220;greed and poor execution&#8221; by some in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security Concerns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The multiple attacks on Base last month are a red flag that cannot be ignored. As I see it, while the platform has shown resilience by bouncing back, these incidents underscore the need for enhanced security measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Road Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent surge in Base&#8217;s daily transactions and total assets locked indicates a growing interest in layer-2 solutions. However, for sustained growth and user trust, Base must focus on bolstering its security infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, Base&#8217;s new all-time high in daily transactions is a significant milestone, but it comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. The platform needs to balance its rapid growth with robust security measures to ensure a stable and secure environment for its users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Unprecedented Surge Coinbase&#8217;s Ethereum layer-2 solution, Base, has recently witnessed a remarkable surge in daily transactions, crossing the 1.8 million mark.
