Base Networks Creator Coin Focus Sparks Backlash: A Tale of Growth and TensionThe Base network, a layer two blockchain by Coinbase, is grappling with criticism for its heavy promotion of creator coins, tokens tied to individual creators or content, primarily through its partnership with NFT marketplace Zora. While daily token mints have surpassed Solana, some argue this focus is alienating early project supporters.Supporters view creator coins as a novel way for artists to earn on-chain and attract more people to crypto. Base, using the open-source OP Stack from Optimism, handles over ten million transactions daily. However, builders in the Base community express frustration over official marketing favoring Zora-linked content over homegrown projects with proven track records.This tension underscores Bases challenge in scaling up while maintaining builder satisfaction. Although the chain is thriving short-term, negative sentiment could lead to an exodus to rivals like Solana or Sui if projects feel overlooked. The future of Base remains uncertain as competitors await the builder moods shift. Checkout Solipillow.com
