Base Hosts Inaugural Global Community Call on July 31
Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by Coinbase, is hosting its inaugural Global Community Call on July 31. The event promises updates from the Base team, interviews with builders, and spotlights on projects across the ecosystem.
The session will take place at 8:00 AM PT (11:00 AM EST, 3:00 PM GMT, and 8:30 PM IST). The format will include insights from the core Base team, interviews with key builders in the ecosystem, and highlights of emerging projects.
Base's founder, Jesse Pollak, has been exploring a native network token since the BaseCamp event in September 2025. Pollak has recently stepped back from leading the Base App to focus on positioning Base as critical infrastructure for global financial transactions.
The community call arrives during a significant operational pivot for the network. Base underwent a reorganization in July 2026 designed to sharpen its focus on three specific areas: payments, trading, and AI infrastructure. Since launching its mainnet in 2023, Base has climbed into the top tier of L2 networks by user activity and developer adoption.
Investors should watch the July 31 call for signals related to a potential token launch, strategic partnerships, and governance.
