Base Protocol’s Dashboard Community Guide
Quick overview
With the increasing visibility and adoption of the cryptocurrency space, the industry has seen an exponential growth over the last few years. The DeFi sector alone has seen an increase from 700M $USD to 25B in just one year.
Base Protocol’s BASE tracks the Crypto Market cap, by pegging its token at a ratio o 1:1 trillion to it’s total value, allowing investors to speculate on the industry as a whole, similar to traditional fiance indexes such as the S&P500 or the Nasdaq.
The Rebase mechanic stabilizes the token’s price to it’s peg, by expanding and contracting BASE’s circulating supply according to user adoption. Holders will see their wallet’s balance change, (more tokens will be added after a positive rebase and removed after a negative one) but percentage wise, will remain the same.

- The Crypto Maket Cap chart exhibits the total cryptocurrency market’s history since the Base Protocol’s launch date.
- And the Market Cap Sources shows all the trusted cryptocurrency trackers that Base acquires data from. As different sites do not list all the same coins, the total market cap oscillates with a decent degree of variance. Base protocol solves this problem by averaging the sum total of all the trackers.

Chainlink oracle nodes allow smart contracts on the ethereum blockchain to interact with external api’s. Base’s team had to build their own oracle node for tracking the crypto market cap, as there weren’t any available at the time.
The oracle screen shows The MarketCap/USD price feed.
Currently 9 Node Operators provide data to Base Protocol.
