 <p class="is-style-lead">The total value locked (TVL) of Base, an Optimism-based layer-2 platform for Ethereum, is&nbsp;surging, increasing by 48X, partially attributed to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="frenzy" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/frenzy.html">frenzy</a> surrounding the BALD meme coin.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>As of July 30, Base’s TVL stands at $46.18 million, surpassing competitors Mantle and Apex, and closing in on Polygon’s zkEVM, which has a TVL of $56 million.</p>

 <p>The BALD meme coin, inspired by Brian Armstrong, the founder of Coinbase, has played a significant role in driving the transaction count on Base.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Since launching on July 29, BALD prices have surged by 4,000,000%,&nbsp;rising&nbsp;to $0.063 with a market capitalization of over $45 million. This <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="spike" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/spike.html">spike</a> has led to fear of missing out (FOMO), enticing users to invest in BALD to make quick profits.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>The influx of funds into Base and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="spike" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/spike.html">spike</a> in interest due to the BALD <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="frenzy" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/frenzy.html">frenzy</a> has indirectly driven transaction count and interest on the OP Mainnet, formerly Optimism.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>As of July 30, the OP Mainnet TVL stood at $2.92 billion, rising in sync with Base, whose technology is based on the roll-up technology that anchors the OP Mainnet.</p>

 <p>Despite their impressive growth and popularity, meme coin fans should exercise caution when connecting to Base and trading BALD meme coin.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Base is still being tested. This means users who engage blindly can lose funds. However, users can still connect by manually sending funds to the official contract address.</p> 
 <p>Accordingly, how BALD’s performance evolves ahead of the Base’s official launch in August is closely being monitored. </p> 
 <p>Whether the BALD <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="frenzy" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/frenzy.html">frenzy</a> will subside is also yet to be seen.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Ethereum layer-2 transactions are cheaper than on the mainnet. Their scalability and low fees attract users and projects to leading platforms like Arbitrum and OP Mainnet.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Recently, Worldcoin launched the airdrop of its WLD tokens on OP Mainnet, driving transaction counts above Arbitrum for the first time while also pumping its TVL.</p>
