With a focus on developer tools and user-friendly apps, Base is aiming for $100 billion in assets and a stronger global presence by 2025. On Jan. 17, the Base blockchain outlined its plan for the year, targeting $100 billion in on-chain assets by October 2025. The roadmap focuses on increasing developer participation, expanding its user base, and improving the scalability of its blockchain infrastructure. The platform has set specific goals, including bringing in 25,000 developers, onboarding 25 million users, attaining $100 billion on-chain assets, and increasing blockspace capacity to 250 million gas units per second (Mgas/s). In blockchain terminology, “gas” represents the computational resources required to execute transactions, while Mgas/s measures the network’s ability to process transactions efficiently. Base’s strategy for 2025 centers on five key areas outlined in its official blog: providing tools for builders, developing a wide range of onchain apps, enhancing user ownership through integrated accounts, establishing a liquid global capital market, and scaling the platform to be accessible worldwide.
