Base Brings cbHYPE and cbZEC Onchain via Aerodrome

Base is expanding its onchain economy with the addition of cbHYPE and cbZEC. The Layer-2 network announced on Sept. 1 that the two assets are now usable within its ecosystem, with @AerodromeFi serving as the first trading venue for both.

cbHYPE and cbZEC represent Coinbase-backed versions of HYPE and ZEC, bringing holders of these assets into Base's DeFi landscape. The integration unlocks new use cases such as trading and liquidity provision on decentralized exchanges, enabled by the security and trust of @Coinbase, according to Aerodrome.

Aerodrome, a major DEX on Base, confirmed the listings on the same day, noting that cbHYPE and cbZEC are now available on its platform. The move marks another step in Base's effort to scale the onchain economy by onboarding additional assets and users, following a period of significant ecosystem growth that has seen the network reach nearly $5 billion in total value locked.

The listings give HYPE and ZEC holders a direct bridge into Base's DeFi ecosystem. Further integration points are expected as the network continues to expand its asset offerings.
