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 has been compiled and translated by BlockBeats.
(Background: Coinbase plans to launch “tokenized stock $COIN” in the U.S.; is trading stocks on CEX just around the corner?)
(Background information: Annual report on on-chain transactions: Monthly new user count peaked at 19.4 million, with Base contributing nearly 70% of the increase)
TL;DR
Base is a global on-chain economy that we are building together and transparently. This year, our focus is on developing the Base economy through five core pillars: developers, applications, ownership, market, and enabling everyone to go on-chain anytime, anywhere. We have a plan, but only by building together can we achieve these ambitious goals. As collaboration and development progress, our strategies will also continuously evolve to better serve the Base economy.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build a global on-chain economy that drives innovation, creativity, and freedom. It is a new internet built by people, for people.
The hallmark of success is bringing the entire world on-chain — millions of developers and billions of users. The only way to achieve this goal is by connecting people, developers, and businesses. By inviting the world to build with us and doing so openly, we are creating a new internet that provides an open and thriving economic support system for everyone.
One of the most significant pieces of feedback we continually 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 enabling the world to go on-chain.
Bold, Challenging, and Grand Goals for 2025
To bring a billion people on-chain, we must push ourselves beyond our comfort zones. If we achieve all the milestones set, it indicates our goals are not high enough. Therefore, as we enter 2025, we have established some exciting yet daunting objectives:
– 25 million users
– 25,000 developers
– 250 Mgas/s block space capacity
– Platform asset value reaching $100 billion
– Base completing 1 billion transactions in October
As we reflect 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 chance to realize these objectives.
Five Strategic Pillars for 2025
To achieve these goals, we need to work together in 2025. This means focusing on accelerating collaboration amongst ourselves, making us stronger and more united. To ensure consistency, we want to unveil and share what the Base core team is doing to achieve these objectives. We hope this inspires 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 applications. Whether you are an advanced on-chain developer, a developer transitioning from Web2, or a beginner, we aim 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 a gasless experience and expansion pack through Paymasters and L3s
#2 Base Serves Apps
We will cultivate a vibrant, interconnected on-chain app ecosystem that increases the number of Base users. More apps mean more concrete reasons to attract everyone on-chain.
– Help apps, developers, and creators achieve viral growth through more dissemination methods
– Build new tools to help creators earn more income, tell on-chain stories, and achieve growth
– Provide core on-chain experiences such as social, trading, payments, and messaging
#3 Base Serves Ownership
We will establish a powerful on-chain account that supports seamless funding, identity, and management functionalities. 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 less than 60 seconds (including funding!) without needing to create 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 the Market
We will make Base the center of the on-chain economy, featuring a highly liquid, always-online global capital market. 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, promoting on-chain participation from every country
– Enable fiat deposit and withdrawal capabilities globally
#5 Base Serves Everyone
We will achieve decentralization, expansion, and acceleration for Base, ensuring everyone can go on-chain anytime, anywhere. The only way to build a truly global economy is based on a decentralized open platform — we are proud to be part of Ethereum and Superchain.
– Achieve Stage 1 decentralization
– Expand Base block space capacity to 250 Mgas/s
– Accelerate block times and reduce costs, achieving transactions under 1 second and under 1 cent
How We Build in 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 all of us build in this way, we will go faster and further.
The Next Steps Depend on Us
We have shared Base’s mission and strategy, as well as how the Base core team contributes to this. But ultimately, only by all Base builders working together can we achieve success.
Are you ready to win together with us?
