Base Network continued its impressive growth trajectory throughout the fourth quarter of 2024. According to The Block, the network surpassed 8 million daily transactions by the end of December, marking a sustained upward trend.
From 500K to 7.5M Transactions in Nine Months
Starting with a modest 500,000 daily transactions in March, Base exceeded 7.5 million daily transactions by December. This remarkable 15x growth was fueled by innovative protocols and ecosystem investments.
One standout contributor is Virtuals, an AI-powered platform, which boosted its associated tokens’ total market capitalization to $3 billion, significantly driving ecosystem development. Additionally, MegaETH, launched on the Echo platform, garnered $10 million in investment within three minutes, setting a new record for rapid funding.
Scaling Challenges Amid Rapid Expansion
The explosive growth of Base has not come without challenges, particularly in infrastructure. Increased storage demand has posed significant hurdles:
- Archive nodes now require 500 GB of storage weekly.
- New node setup times have exceeded 15 hours.
To address these issues, Base’s development team announced the integration of Reth, a solution designed to improve network efficiency, ensure operational transparency, and enhance community participation.
