Jesse Pollak, co-founder of Base, stated that the core team will not coordinate capital to artificially inflate asset prices.

Co-founder’s statement

According to Pollak, intentionally pumping tokens or directing capital behind the scenes would disadvantage other assets and participants.

He noted such actions would be unsustainable long term, contradict free market principles and could potentially breach applicable laws.

Team focus and market implications

Pollak said the team will prioritize promoting high-quality assets and applications to attract capital and user attention to the Base ecosystem.

The approach aims to grow the ecosystem through organic interest rather than through coordinated market interventions or artificial price support.

Markets, he emphasized, should remain open and fair to all participants, with parity of opportunity across projects and investors.

Operational stance

The statement outlines a commitment to market neutrality by the core team, with resources directed toward ecosystem development and application-level adoption.

Pollak framed this position as necessary to preserve credibility and long-term sustainability within the Base community and its markets.
