Foresight News reports that Jesse Pollak, co-founder of Base, tweeted in response to community user “Base Meme” who urgently needs a true leader and suggested that “the solution is actually very simple: select a community and support the price trend behind the scenes,” stating, “The core team of Base will not manipulate the market secretly. If you are referring to private / behind-the-scenes coordination to actively push up asset prices to achieve specific goals, this would actively harm the rights and interests of other assets; it is unsustainable and difficult to maintain in the long term; it contradicts our advocated values of free and open markets; and it is very likely to violate laws. We are capable of and will continue to promote the distribution and exposure of high-quality assets and applications. We still have significant room for improvement in this area.”
