Base co-founder rejects token price manipulation rumors

Jesse Pollak of Base denied rumors of secret token price manipulation, stressing the team's commitment to fair, open markets and transparent support for quality projects.

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak has publicly addressed and firmly rejected community rumors about secret market manipulation and token price pumping by the Base team. Pollak clarified in several statements that the Base core team will not coordinate or use internal capital to artificially influence the price of any asset or token. He emphasized that such actions would harm other tokens, undermine trust in the ecosystem, contradict the principles of free and open markets, and could potentially violate laws. Pollak stated that the team's focus is on promoting the visibility and distribution of quality applications and assets on Base, without interfering in price formation. He acknowledged the need for improvement in these areas and assured that any support for projects will be conducted transparently and fairly, not through secret price manipulation. These comments come amid increased community debate over favoritism and speculation, especially regarding meme tokens, and reinforce Base's commitment to organic and transparent market practices.
