Base has set the following goals in its outlook for 2025: 25 million users, 25,000 developers, 250 Mgas/s block capacity, $100 billion in assets, and 1 billion monthly transactions. This article is organized and compiled by BlockBeats.
(Background: Coinbase plans to launch “tokenized stock $COIN” in the United States, is trading stocks on CEX not far off?)
(Background Supplement: Annual report on on-chain transactions: Monthly new user numbers peaked at 19.4 million, with Base chain contributing nearly 70% of the incremental growth.)
TL;DR
Base is a global on-chain economy that we are building together and openly. This year, our focus is on developing the Base economy through five core pillars: developers, applications, ownership, markets, and enabling everyone to be on-chain anytime, anywhere. We have a plan, but only by building together with everyone can we achieve these ambitious goals. As collaboration and development progress, our strategy will continue to evolve to better serve the Base economy.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build a global on-chain economy that fosters innovation, creativity, and freedom. This is a new internet built by people, for people.
The hallmark of success is getting the whole world on-chain—millions of developers and billions of users. The only way to achieve this goal is to connect people, developers, and businesses. By inviting the world to build with us and doing so openly, we are establishing a new internet that provides everyone with an open and thriving economic support system.
One of the biggest pieces of feedback we consistently receive is that joining this new economy is still too difficult. This year, our focus is on simplifying information flow, making products “ready to use,” and getting the whole world on-chain.
Bold, Challenging, and Grand Goals for 2025
To get a billion people on-chain, we must strive to break out of our comfort zones. If we achieve all the milestones set, it would indicate that our goals are not high enough. Thus, as we enter 2025, we have set some exciting yet daunting goals:
– 25 million users
– 25,000 developers
– 250 Mgas/s of block space capacity
– Platform assets valued at $100 billion
– Base completing 1 billion transactions in October
As we look back on this year, if these goals have inspired and challenged us to surpass ourselves, then we are on the right path. With a bit of luck and immense determination, we have the opportunity to achieve these goals.
Five Strategic Pillars for 2025
To achieve these goals in 2025, we need to work together. This means focusing on accelerating collaboration with one another, making us more united and powerful. To maintain consistency, we want to unveil and share what the core Base team is doing to achieve these goals. We hope this will inspire you to build with us.
#1 Base Serves Developers
We will create powerful and open tools that enable anyone to build world-class on-chain apps. Whether you are a seasoned on-chain developer, a developer transitioning from Web2, or a beginner, we want to help you build and make an impact.
– Deepen OnchainKit and foundational modules for building world-class apps
– Release new tools to help developers embrace AI agents and mini apps
– Achieve gasless experiences and scalability with Paymasters and L3s
#2 Base Serves Apps
We will cultivate a vibrant and interconnected on-chain app ecosystem to increase the number of Base users. More apps mean more concrete reasons for everyone to go on-chain.
– Help apps, developers, and creators achieve viral growth through more outreach methods
– Build new tools to help creators earn more income, tell on-chain stories, and achieve growth
– Provide core on-chain experiences such as socializing, trading, payments, and messaging
#3 Base Serves Ownership
We will establish a powerful on-chain account that supports seamless funding, identity, and management capabilities. We will continue to advance smart wallets, eliminating complexity for developers and users, making apps “ready to use,” and returning control to users.
– New user registration in < 60 seconds (including funding!) without creating isolated accounts
- Enable apps to be "ready to use" without pop-ups, while ensuring user sovereignty
- Allow users to easily manage their complete identity and assets in a secure and private manner
#4 Base Serves Markets
We will make Base the center of the on-chain economy, featuring high liquidity and always-online global capital markets. The more assets and liquidity there are, the faster the entire financial world goes on-chain.
- Bring Coinbase on-chain and increase the number of assets on Base
- Support over 25 local currency stablecoins to drive on-chain activity in every country
- Enable fiat on-ramps and off-ramps globally
#5 Base Serves Everyone
We will achieve the decentralization, scalability, and acceleration of Base, ensuring that everyone can go on-chain anytime, anywhere. The only way to build a truly global economy is through a decentralized open platform—we are proud to be part of Ethereum and SuperChain.
- Achieve Stage 1 decentralization
- Scale Base's block space capacity to 250 Mgas/s
- Accelerate block times and reduce costs to achieve < 1 second and < 1 cent transactions
How We Build the "Base" Way
Ultimately, this is not just about what we do in 2025, but how we do it. In 2025, we will maintain the "Base" way, which means:
- Doing the right thing
- Working hard
- Staying optimistic
- Breaking boundaries with creativity
- Prioritizing the team over individuals
If we all build in this way, we will go faster and further.
The Next Step Relies on Us
We have shared Base's mission and strategy, as well as how the core Base team is contributing to it. But ultimately, only by working together with all Base builders can we achieve success.
Are you ready to win together with us?
