**Base**, the Ethereum Layer 2 incubated by **Coinbase**, has recorded an astounding **45% week-over-week increase in active wallet addresses**, cementing its position as the premier consumer execution layer in Web3.
The meteoric rise is driven by the widespread rollout of **Coinbase Smart Wallets**, which allow mainstream internet users to create on-chain wallets using simple device passkeys (FaceID / fingerprint) with zero seed phrase friction and gasless sponsored transactions.
Consumer SocialFi applications, decentralized content monetization platforms, and viral on-chain creator tokens have experienced unprecedented user engagement on Base, proving that frictionless user experience is the ultimate catalyst for bringing the next billion users onto the blockchain.
