What do Base and HashKey Chain have in common?
Replies
As infrastructure, both aim to become the foundation for a new generation of on-chain financial technology, and both are working hard to optimize performance to better carry large amounts of funds and users.
The Base mainnet was officially launched as early as 2023. In less than two years, it has become one of the hottest L2s. According to Artemis data, Base's net capital inflow exceeded US$2.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the number of daily transactions was about 11.1 million. In the AI Agent and Meme craze in 2024, Base demonstrated its strong ability to attract money and its ability to carry large-scale users' frequent on-chain interactions. On the other hand, although HashKey Chain has been online for only more than two months, whether from the rapidly growing on-chain data or the series of functions designed for institutional-level adoption, we can feel HashKey Chain's ambition to build the preferred blockchain for finance and RWA.
Although both Base and HashKey Chain are committed to seizing the development opportunities of on-chain finance in 2025, they have different plans for their respective ecological entry point choices.
For institutions, HashKey Chain significantly reduces the technical threshold and operating costs of institutional financial products on the chain through compliance-friendly, secure and reliable, high-performance and low-cost, and complete on-chain DeFi ecosystem to empower asset liquidity and application scenarios, making CPIC Estable MMF an effective digital asset allocation tool to help institutions achieve transparent, efficient and refined management of fund shares on the blockchain.
The two paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. Both paths carry the grand vision of boosting the explosion of on-chain finance and have achieved breakthrough achievements at their respective entry points. However, as on-chain finance is still in its early stages, perhaps Base and HashKey Chain need more specific scenarios of deep integration of off-chain and on-chain finance to verify their feasibility. We also need to look at it from a longer-term perspective.
