Sustained user retention is the harder metric.<\/p>\n<p>Base also benefits from a distribution advantage that most Layer 2 networks do not have: a direct connection to one of the largest consumer crypto platforms. That does not guarantee that exchange users become onchain users, but it lowers the friction when Coinbase chooses to surface Base-native experiences. The harder challenge is making activity sticky once users arrive. A chain can generate millions of daily interactions around one popular application and still see usage fall sharply later. The 7.5 million figure is therefore impressive, but retention and economic value per user will tell the more durable story.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was written by the News Desk and edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/author\/rae-samuel\/\">Samuel Rae<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Base network activity reached roughly 7.5 million transactions over a single day in the validated September 22 data.
