TL;DR
Base is a global on-chain economy, and we are collectively and openly building it. This year, our focus is on developing the Base economy through five core pillars: Developers, Applications, Ownership, Marketplace, and enabling everyone to be on-chain anytime, anywhere. We have a plan, but it is only through building together that we can achieve these ambitious goals. As we collaborate and grow, our strategy will continue to 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. This is a new internet built by people, for people.
The measure of success is to onboard the world—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 kind of internet that provides an open and thriving economic foundation for all.
One of the most significant feedback we continuously receive is that joining this new economy is still too complex. This year, our focus is on simplifying information flow, making products "plug-and-play," and onboarding the world on-chain.
2025 Bold, Ambitious, and Lofty Goals
In order to onboard one billion people on-chain, we must push ourselves well beyond our comfort zone. If we hit all our set milestones, it means our goals were not high enough. Therefore, as we enter 2025, we have set some exciting and daunting goals:
· 25 million users
· 25,000 developers
· 250 Mgas/s block space capacity
· Platform asset value of 100 billion USD
· Base completed 1 billion transactions in October
As we look back on this year, if these goals have ever motivated and challenged us to surpass ourselves, then we are on the right path. With a little luck and a great deal of determination, we have the opportunity to achieve these goals.
Five Strategic Pillars for 2025
To achieve these goals in 2025, we need to work together. This means focusing on driving accelerated collaboration with each other, making us more united and powerful. To maintain consistency, we want to unveil what the Base core team is doing to achieve these goals. Hopefully, these can inspire you to build with us.
#1 Base Serving Developers
We will build powerful and open tools that enable anyone to build world-class on-chain Apps. Whether you are a seasoned on-chain developer, transitioning from Web2 developer, or a beginner, we want to help you build and make an impact.
· Deepen OnchainKit and build foundational modules for world-class Apps
· Release new tools to help developers embrace AI agents and mini-Apps
· Achieve gas-free experience and scalability with Paymasters and L3s
#2 Base Serving Apps
We will nurture a vibrant, open, interconnected on-chain App ecosystem to grow the Base user base. More Apps mean more concrete reasons to onboard everyone.
· Help Apps, developers, and creators achieve viral growth through more dissemination channels
· Build new tools to help creators earn more income, tell on-chain stories, and achieve growth
· Provide core on-chain experiences such as social, transactions, payments, and messaging
#3 Base Serving Ownership
We will create a powerful on-chain account supporting seamless fund, identity, and governance capabilities. We will continue to advance smart wallets, eliminate complexity for developers and users, make Apps "plug and play," and put control back in the hands of users.
· New user registration <60 seconds (including funds!) without creating isolated accounts
· Enable Apps to be "plug and play" without pop-ups while maintaining user sovereignty
· Empower users to easily manage their entire identity and assets securely and privately
#4 Base Serving the Market
We will make Base the center of the on-chain economy, with a highly liquid, globally accessible capital market that is always online. The more assets and liquidity, the faster the entire on-chain financial world moves.
· Onboard Coinbase and increase the number of assets on Base
· Support 25+ local currency stablecoins to onboard every country
· Enable fiat on/off ramps globally
#5 Base Serving Everyone
We will decentralize, scale, and speed up Base to ensure everyone, everywhere can be on-chain. The only way to build a truly global economy is on a decentralized open platform, and we are proud to be a part of Ethereum and Layer 2.
· Achieve Phase 1 decentralization
· Expand Base block space capacity to 250 Mgas/s
· Accelerate block time and reduce fees to achieve <1 second, <1 cent transactions
How We Build in a Base Way
In the end, it's not just about what we do in 2025, but how we do it. In 2025, we will stay based, which means:
· Do the right thing
· Work hard
· Stay optimistic
· Break boundaries with creativity
· Team over individual
If we all build this way, we'll go further, faster.
The Rest Is Up to Us Now
We've shared Base's mission and strategy, and how the Core Team contributes to it. But ultimately, only when all Base builders come together can we succeed.
Are you ready to win with us?
