$ETH Base Moves to Its Own Software System
Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network, is shifting away from Optimism’s tech stack.
It will now run on its own unified software architecture.
Goal:
Reduce dependence on external providers
Speed up upgrades
Simplify node operations (single base binary system)
The transition will happen in 4 phases, and node operators must install the new base client.
Launched in 2023 as an optimism chain, Base is now becoming more independent.
🔹 Ethereum L2 Debate
Vitalik Buterin recently said Ethereum Layer-2 networks are taking longer to fully decentralize.
He also mentioned that Ethereum Layer-1 is already scaling well with low fees.
This sparked mixed reactions in the Ethereum community.
Jesse Pollak (base founder) responded positively and said L2s must evolve beyond just being cheaper execution layers.
Currently, there are 128+ Ethereum L2 networks (according to L2Beat).
🔹 Eric Trump Predicts $1M Bitcoin
$BTC Eric Trump said he believes Bitcoin will eventually reach $1 million.
His statement was shared by Scott Melker, host of The Wolf Of All Streets Podcast.
This adds to ongoing discussions about Bitcoin’s long-term price potential.
📌 Overall Summary
Base is becoming more technically independent within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum community is debating the future role of Layer-2 networks.
Meanwhile, bullish predictions continue for Bitcoin, with $1M targets being discussed.
