You Won’t Believe How Many People Are Flocking to Base Network! 🚀

by

The word came on the wind, carried not from the mouths of prophets but from the tweet of a sharp-eyed tech outfit called Nansen. They squinted at the numbers, their brows as furrowed as a plowman eyeing drought-struck fields, and proclaimed: “Active addresses on Base just hit 1.6 million.” Not for the year, not even for the turn of a season—just the last dusty thirty days. Folks are flocking to Base like thirsty souls to a wandering well after rain. Engagement? Adoption? Looks like anything but a ghost town, unless you count all those bots as ghosts.

The analytic folks, proud holders of many useless graduate degrees, muttered with a satisfied sort of resignation: “Builders are building. Users are using.” There’s poetry in it, or at least some grim wisdom scraped out at the end of a long day—like putting your last potato in the stew and hoping that stew will feed you. These builders lay their code like farmers plant seed, not knowing what storm or pest may come. The users? They’re out there breaking your stuff, pressing buttons they shouldn’t, getting lost and found again. Progress marches, either way.

With the stubborn pride of a farmer gazing at an almost-ripe field, Nansen signs off—“Keep watching Base. It’s not done yet.” Now, you could be a fool and hope for a quiet year, but even fools know to keep their boots on in this part of the internet.

And consider the chart: it’s a line that rises the way a dust devil twists up off the highway, higher and higher until it makes a spectacle of itself. Over 1.6 million, it said quietly, as if ashamed of all the mess it made. But no matter—Base isn’t shrinking. No, it keeps stretching its legs, waking up and demanding breakfast, and probably second breakfast. There’s room at the table for anyone with an address—at least until the neighbors complain about the noise.
