Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Base has surpassed Solana to become the second-largest DeFi chain by total value locked, marking a shift in DeFi dynamics that underscores the growing influence of Ethereum layer-2 solutions over rival ecosystems. The milestone positions Base behind only Ethereum among DeFi networks, with the flip reflecting capital rotating toward L2-based protocols. The development matters because it signals that scalability-focused Ethereum rollups are increasingly competing with alternative layer-1 chains for DeFi liquidity and users. Market participants will watch whether Base can sustain its TVL lead over Solana and how the competition shapes liquidity flows across L2s and layer-1 networks.
