As well as open-sourcing its repositories and smart contracts, Base also open-sourced its web properties, including base.org, docs.base.org, and bridge.base.org.
Base has been one of the most active layer-2 networks in the crypto ecosystem, with a large wave of activity being driven by the rise of Friend.tech, a decentralized social finance application built on top of the network.
