Base Co-founder: The core team will not manipulate market prices in secret; they will focus on distributing high-quality assets and applications.

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak responded to community opinions that "Base Memes need true leaders who should support price movements behind the scenes," stating that the Base core team will not actively inflate asset prices through private or behind-the-scenes funding. Pollak explained that such practices would intentionally undermine the fairness of other assets, are unsustainable in the long term, violate Base's values ​​of free and open markets, and carry significant legal risks. He emphasized that the Base team is able and will focus on promoting the distribution and exposure of high-quality assets and applications, and that there is still considerable room for improvement in this area.
