According to Pedro Gomes on Twitter, WalletConnect has officially integrated with Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase. This integration enables seamless connectivity for decentralized applications, wallets, and DeFi protocols on the Base network, streamlining user experience and transaction flows (source: Pedro Gomes on Twitter, May 20, 2025). For traders, this means reduced transaction friction and increased liquidity across Base-based assets, potentially driving higher trading volumes and attracting new users to Base's DeFi ecosystem. The move also positions Base as a more competitive Layer 2 solution, which may impact the price action of tokens associated with the Base ecosystem and influence cross-chain trading strategies.
