The team stated that Base has achieved the first phase of decentralization and is working on further distributed blockchain construction.

Base does not hold user funds and cannot steal or block withdrawals. Its security mechanisms have been verified by the L2beat platform. Vitalik added that users can automatically withdraw funds when L2 is shut down, and that the operator cannot unilaterally censor or steal assets.
