That figure now places Base ahead of the Solana network, which has a TVL of $358.96 million at the time of writing.


The past 30 days have been significant for Base, with data from DefiLlama showing that the network’s TVL increased by a whopping 97.21% over the past month.

Two Base-native projects account for the largest share of TVL on the network.


Decentralized exchange Aerodrome Finance takes the top spot with a TVL of $97.83 million, while decentralized social media app Friend.tech ranks second with a TVL of $36.53 million.


Aerodrome was launched on Aug. 28, enabling users to deposit liquidity to earn its native AERO tokens, among several other features. While it failed to pull in significant deposits during its first couple of days, Aerodrome’s TVL skyrocketed on Aug. 31, with $150 million piling in on that day alone.


Its TVL reached as high as $200 million on Sept. 2; however, the initial hype appears to have cooled since then, with the TVL decreasing by roughly 51% from its peak.Aerodrome TVL since launch. Source: DefiLlama


Friend.tech launched on Aug. 11, and the platform enables users to tokenize their social networks via the buying and selling of “Keys.” Despite being pronounced “dead” in late August due to tanking user activity and fees, the platform surged dramatically in September.


As per DefiLlama, Friend.tech’s TVL increased by 540% over the past month, with most of that coming after a pump that started on Sept. 9 alongside a resurgence in daily trading volume.

Cointelegraph also reported earlier this month that Base hit a new peak in terms of daily transactions, hitting 1.88 million on Sept. 14, according to data from BaseScan.


That figure placed it well ahead of rival chains like Optimism and arbitrum on the day, which had almost 880,000 combined.
