Base App has just announced a new development direction: abandoning the social media-focused model and shifting to prioritize the trading system. According to Jesse, the head of Base, the application will be repositioned based on the trading-first principle. The goal is to build bridges and efficient distribution mechanisms for all types of digital assets. This move reflects the current industry trend - Layer 2 platforms are focusing on building robust trading infrastructure to enhance transactions and create value for users.

Trading-first sounds good, but can Base really build a good trading engine? Coinbase's DNA actually becomes an advantage here.

Another one giving up on the social dream to start an exchange. Isn't this trick too old?

wait hold up... trading-first pivot? mmm, sounds good on paper but let me check the smart contract architecture first before getting excited. seen way too many "revolutionary" platforms pull this exact move then introduce fatal MEV vulnerabilities in the process. not saying Base will, but... DYOR on those liquidity pool mechanisms they're deploying. not financial advice obv.
