Coinbase’s Base Network Hits ’Stage 1’ Milestone—Decentralization Push Gains Steam
Base Network just leveled up—officially hitting ’Stage 1’ decentralization status. That means fewer single points of failure and less reliance on Coinbase’s iron grip. Progress? Sure. But let’s see how long it takes Wall Street to pretend they invented the concept.
The upgrade slashes centralization risks by distributing sequencer operations—no more ’trust us, we’re a CEX’ hand-waving. Validators now independently verify transactions, cutting the cord on centralized checkpoints.
Next stop: Stage 2. Full Ethereum-equivalent security without the training wheels. Until then, enjoy the irony of a centralized exchange building the rails for a decentralized future.
