Aerodrome has seen an increase in inflows into its ecosystem.
Base, the recently launched Layer-2 network, is seeing strong traction even as the crypto winter continues. On-chain data shows that the amount of cash being poured into Base’s ecosystems has increased.
Data from DeFi Llama shows that the total value (TVL) in its ecosystem has risen to over $420 million, making it the tenth largest chain in the world. It has grown bigger than some of the oldest chains like Cronos, Kava, Klaytn, CardanoFantom and Algorand.
The base has been traced 100 DeFi applications. Aerodrome, the largest dApp in its ecosystem, is worth over $121 million. The other major DeFi applications in the ecosystem are friend.tech, Compound, Curve DEX, Stargate and Beefy.
To start, Base is a layer 2 network that allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps). Developers are already building applications across industries, such as gaming, social media and infrastructure.
An Ethereum Layer-2 network is a network that boosts application performance. It is a side chain that reduces transaction costs and increases speed. Base can process over 10,000 transactions per second (tps) at much lower costs. It competes with the likes of Optimism, Polygon and Arbitrum.
The latest news from Base is that its developers have launched Pessimism, an open-source monitoring system that improves Base’s security by detecting and responding to threats.
