What was working with the OP-stack like? Would base have been possible without it?

How long did it take to go from 0 --> release candidate for base? Basically I'm wondering: how long does it take to build an L2

What does base need to do to achieve credible decentralization? How far away do you think that is?

How long has this been in the making? Why Optimism over Arbitrum? What’s your favorite use case for this in the next 12 months?

Great work! So how could the OP stack running on different chains be interoperable? Would it allow for wallets that work on both? Would bridging between be safer and a piece of cake? Case where contracts only needed to be deployed once to the stack?

gm jesse - saw in your post that the ideal vision for Base is to create a superchain able to sequence any L2 built using the OP stack - what are some benefits of a Superchain for the end-user?

Does Coinbase intend to build any public good-type projects on Base or primarily fund others via the ecosystem fund?

> We expect that there will be many rollups with significant activity, serving as “hubs” for different ecosystems. Which types of ecosystems do you think Base will uniquely be able to serve best as a hub? Which ones would you be most excited to see personally?

Contracts on the launch and ‘critical reception’. Non tech Q. When someone said ‘how about bringing on a billion users’ as a tagline … did no one say ‘what us too?’. It’s becoming a meme in itself that phrase.

Will bridged ERC20 tokens on Base support permit like Arbitrum, or omit support for it like Optimism?
