On August 20th, Jesse Pollak, the lead of the Base protocol, made a statement on social platform X, emphasizing that Basenames belong to all users. To avoid the issue of bots mass-purchasing, it was decided to implement an innovative approach—a 36-hour on-chain Dutch auction for distribution. This method aims to ensure that every user has a fair chance to obtain Basenames, avoiding unfair competition issues from the past and demonstrating respect and protection of the community members' rights.
