Base's Head of Global Builders sees no developer frustration, contrasting with recent criticism of Ethereum Foundation leadership.Summary
Xen Baynham-Herd, Head of Global Builders at Base, stated he has observed no signs of frustration or unrest among developers building on Coinbase's layer-2 network. This contrasts sharply with recent internal tensions within the Ethereum Foundation, highlighted by long-time core developer Péter Szilágyi's memo accusing the Foundation of being controlled by a "ruling elite" and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin maintaining "complete indirect control" over the network's direction. Baynham-Herd attributed Base's positive developer culture to its commercial framework under Coinbase, which offers direct revenue and growth opportunities, suggesting this structure avoids the issues seen in Ethereum's non-profit model.
