Base Surpasses Solana as Top Ethereum Scaling Solution

Base has emerged as a leading Ethereum scaling solution, surpassing Solana in activity. In early 2026, Base recorded over 4 million daily transactions, capturing $196.2 million of the $790.9 million total Layer-2 market revenue.

This represents 24.8% of all sequencer fee revenue and marks a significant milestone for Base. The platform's Total Value Locked (TVL) grew 23% to $7.8 billion in March 2026, making it one of the top Ethereum L2s by TVL.

Base's success can be attributed to its use of the OP Stack to scale and its ability to offer low transaction fees, often costing less than $0.01 per transaction. The platform also supports a large number of creator tokens and content tokens, with 1,500 creator tokens and 70,000 content tokens being supported daily.
