Base protocol leader Jesse Pollak stated on X: “Hyperliquid shows that it is a good thing to build a product that people love before injecting price complexity. We see the same thing on Base—starting without a token allows us to focus on solving real problems, which means we must truly work hard for it every day. It should be clear: Hyperliquid is not the only data point in this regard. In fact, the entire history of startups illustrates this. Undoubtedly, the most important thing is to build a world-class product that people love. That's it. To reiterate: we have no plans to launch a Base network token. We are focused on building. We want to solve real problems to help people build better. I hope to receive your feedback on areas where we can improve.”
