[Base to Migrate from OP Stack to Independent Tech Stack, OP Price Drops Over 20%] Odaily Planet Daily News: Layer 2 solution Base has announced its transition from the OP Stack to its independently operated unified tech stack, base/base. As a result, the native token of Optimism, OP, has dropped over 20% in the past 24 hours. Base stated that this move aims to accelerate development and reduce system complexity. In the future, node operators will need to migrate to the Base client to accommodate the hard fork. Base launched as an OP Stack chain in 2023, and according to prior agreements, a portion of its sequencer revenue was required to be contributed to the Optimism treasury. With Base transitioning to an independent architecture, this revenue stream will now be retained by Base itself. Currently, the trading price of OP is $0.1436, down approximately 97% from its all-time high of $4.84 in 2024. In contrast, Base has not yet issued a token.
