One thing I find interesting about Base is how much financial infrastructure is being built on top of it.
@Morpho
 is a good example.

Its modular lending infrastructure allows apps to build lending, borrowing and yield products directly into their own"

However, keep in mind that these are target or current yields, not guaranteed returns;"
