CoinDesk, a media outlet specializing in cryptocurrencies, reported that Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, will officially launch its self-built layer 2 blockchain, Base mainnet, using Optimism (OP)'s OP stack on the 9th. As of last week, it was reported that more than $68 million of ETH was linked to the base. Base also announced on Twitter the release of a cross-chain bridge prior to mainnet launch and plans to distribute free NFTs commemorating the mainnet launch, obtainable through a simple quiz.
