Overview
- Pollak said the Base core team will not privately coordinate or deploy capital to push any token’s price to a desired outcome.
- He argued that such interventions would disadvantage other assets, erode trust, conflict with open-market principles, and likely break the law.
- He reiterated that Base’s role is to improve visibility and access for apps and tokens rather than drive price action.
- Pollak indicated that public, clearly defined incentives such as competitions or structured liquidity programs could be explored if implemented fairly.
- The remarks followed renewed community pressure after Cat Own Kimono rebounded more than 200% with $5 million in Jan. 23 volume, reviving scrutiny of past meme surges and security risks on the network.
