Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network under Coinbase, has unveiled its development priorities for 2026. Base will focus on three areas: the tokenisation market, stablecoin payments and the developer ecosystem.
In the tokenisation market, it will push to expand on-chain trading of real-world assets such as stocks and commodities. In stablecoin payments, it will work to broaden multi-currency liquidity. To support the developer ecosystem, it will continue to increase investment in development tools and support for AI on-chain applications.
Base plans to reduce its reliance on Optimism's OP Stack and increase the share of its own development infrastructure to improve independence and scalability.
