The platform targets the tokenisation of global assets and the scaling of stablecoin payments.
Base has released its mission and strategy for 2026, focusing on the development of a global economy through on-chain infrastructure.
Their 2026 strategy is organised around three primary objectives: the development of global markets, the scaling of payments and stablecoins, and the support of the developer community.
To support global markets, Base intends to upgrade its chain-level infrastructure to maintain sub-second settlement at costs below one cent. The platform also plans to support various market structures, such as native issuance, predictions, and perpetuals.
In the area of payments, Base is working to establish stablecoins as a primary layer for internet-based transactions. Technical updates will include the integration of privacy primitives, native account abstraction, and protocol-level support for stablecoin gas payments.
The third pillar of the strategy focuses on builders, including both human developers and AI agents. For AI agents, Base is developing agent-native smart accounts and standards such as x402 to facilitate autonomous financial transactions.
The platform will continue to operate ecosystem programmes, such as Base Batches and builder councils, to provide funding and resources for new projects.
