Base Active Addresses Jump 82.5% to 30-Day High

Activity metrics moving together — addresses, transactions and user-paid fees — is the more meaningful signal here than the headline address count alone, since it suggests genuine on-chain usage rather than a one-off spike in wallets touching the network. Base's position as a leading Ethereum Layer 2 means its fee and usage trends are a useful read on where L2 demand is concentrating. Whether this is a durable step-up or a single-day outlier is the open question, and the next few weeks of fee and transaction data will be the tell.
