The head of the Base protocol praised Hyperliquid and reiterated that Base has no plans to issue a coin

Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, said in a post on X: "Hyperliquid shows that it's a good thing to build a product that people love before injecting price complexity. We've seen the same thing with Base - starting with no tokens allows us to focus on solving real problems, which means we have to really work on it every day. To be clear: Hyperliquid is not the only data point in this regard. In fact, the entire history of startups shows this. There is no doubt that the most important thing is to build a world-class product that people love. That's it. Finally, we reiterate: We have no plans to launch a Base network token. We are focused on building. We want to solve real problems and let people build better. I hope to get your feedback and understand where we can do better."
