Base, the Ethereum Layer-2 built by Coinbase, has introduced a split-screen launchpad that categorizes tokens by market cap size, displaying microcaps, lowcaps, and mid-to-large caps side by side. The goal is straightforward: help users identify tokens with high growth potential without drowning in noise.
What the split-screen launchpad actually does
Instead of scrolling through one undifferentiated feed of thousands of tokens, traders get a triptych. Microcaps on one panel. Lowcaps on another. Mid-to-large caps on the third.
Modern launchpads have been trending toward consolidating research and purchasing into a single platform, eliminating the need for traders to bounce between a blockchain explorer, a charting tool, a Telegram alpha group, and a DEX. Base’s split-screen format fits squarely into that pattern, keeping discovery and execution in one place.
