Base co-founder Jesse Pollak addressed community concerns regarding market manipulation in a recent tweet. According to Foresight News, Pollak responded to suggestions that Base should support a specific community to influence price trends, stating that the core team will not secretly manipulate the market. He emphasized that coordinating funds to artificially inflate asset prices would harm other assets, is unsustainable, contradicts the values of a free and open market, and could potentially violate laws. Pollak assured that Base is committed to promoting the distribution and exposure of quality assets and applications, acknowledging that there is significant room for improvement in this area.
