Base Core Team Clarification: Will not manipulate the market secretly and will focus on distributing high-quality assets

Recently, due to community concerns about the Base ecosystem Meme token market, Base co-founder Jesse Pollak issued a clear response via social media, systematically outlining the development direction of this core ecosystem.

Official Base Response to Market Doubts

In response to community members’ suggestion that “Base needs to select a community and support price movements behind the scenes,” Jesse Pollak explicitly stated that such practices severely violate Base’s development philosophy. He emphasized that the core Base team will not engage in covert manipulation to inflate asset prices, but will adhere to market-oriented and transparent operational principles.

The Three Dangers of Market Manipulation

The co-creator of Base explained in detail why the team refuses to participate in price manipulation. He pointed out that such behavior has three fundamental issues: first, privately coordinating funds to actively push up the price of an asset directly harms other assets’ interests and undermines fair competition within the ecosystem; second, this kind of manipulation is difficult to sustain long-term and ultimately damages the credibility of the entire ecosystem; most importantly, it contradicts Base’s advocated values of free and open markets and may even pose legal risks.

Base’s True Commitment: Distribution and Exposure

Although rejecting market manipulation, Base has not been passive. Jesse Pollak stated that the core team will also put greater effort into discovering, distributing, and exposing high-quality assets and applications. He admitted that there is still significant room for improvement in this area, and in the future, the ecosystem will be helped to gain more attention and opportunities through legitimate and transparent means.

This statement shows that while Base maintains a neutral stance in the market, it is not indifferent to ecosystem development but seeks to find a balance between regulated operations and ecosystem prosperity.
