Base beats Arbitrum, escapes Vitalik Buterin’s list of layer-2 networks doomed to fail

Base has successfully moved from Stage 0 to Stage 1, overtaking Arbitrum in the process. Vitalik Buterin’s previous warnings about L2 rollups no longer apply to Base, now recognized as a more mature solution.

With significant TVL growth, Base’s ecosystem includes influential protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Uniswap, marking it as a strong contender in the Ethereum Layer-2 landscape.
