- Ethereum's second-layer protocol, Base, developed by the Coinbase exchange, has seen a significant increase in daily active addresses.

- According to IntoTheBlock, this is due to the launch of Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) and Base Name Service (BNS).

- cbBTC, which launched on September 12, has attracted over 3,500 users and processes $472 million in transactions daily.

- BNS, introduced on August 21, allowed users to register human-readable names for their addresses, which has contributed to the increase in activity.

- As a result, the number of active addresses on Base has exceeded 2 million, accounting for 70% of all active addresses among Ethereum's second-layer networks.
