Jesse Pollak disclosed Base's strategic evolution at the Coinbase System Update: Take Control conference, positioning the network as the foundational layer for global financial activities. A key component of this initiative is the introduction of the B20 native token standard, alongside expanded support for tokenized stocks issued by Coinbase.

Concurrently, the Base App will extend its interoperability to include Solana, Bitcoin, and multiple EVM networks, with a web version also slated for release.

To enhance automation, Base introduced Base MCP, enabling AI Agents to execute on-chain actions such as transfers, swaps, and lending under user authorization. The network highlighted processing over $19 trillion in stablecoin payment volume this year while supporting more than 25 local currency stablecoins.

Additionally, new private transactions and ledger architecture have been deployed to satisfy corporate compliance and auditing mandates.
