Jesse Pollak, creator of Coinbase-backed Layer 2 network Base, that the Base core team will not deploy internal capital to “support the chart” or engineer a specific token price outcome, calling that behavior market manipulation and likely illegal.
His post responds to renewed tension over favoritism and meme-coin speculation, where some community members have urged Base to select a “flagship” token and push it higher. Pollak argued that private price support would disadvantage other tokens, weaken ecosystem trust, and conflict with Base’s commitment to free, open markets. He said the team will focus on improving visibility and distribution for Base-native applications and assets, not intervening in pricing.
Next, stakeholders will watch whether Base formalizes any transparent, rules-based initiatives, such as open competitions or clearly defined liquidity programs, and whether additional guidance follows as debates over fair competition and market integrity continue.
