Overview

• On July 27, Base recorded 54,300 token issuances in a single day, outpacing Solana’s 47,100 by nearly 15%.
• Almost 3 million unique traders have taken part in Zora’s creator-coin ecosystem on Base since its SocialFi debut.
• The ZORA token surged 440% during the platform’s launch wave and remains over 500% higher than a month ago despite a recent 14% pullback.
• Base’s Layer-2 network sustains roughly 94 transactions per second and low fees, enabling mass on-chain minting that Ethereum’s 17 TPS mainnet cannot match.
• Analysts warn that short-term speculation drives much of the boom, casting doubt on the long-term viability of the creator-coin frenzy.
