Base Launches Enterprise-Grade Confidential Transaction Infrastructure
The Base layer-2 blockchain network launched infrastructure for confidential transactions designed for financial institutions and corporate users. The solution enables on-chain payments, settlements, and transfers while preserving data confidentiality and meeting regulatory requirements.
The Base team announced the launch of Base Privacy, a new suite of infrastructure solutions for confidential corporate transactions built on Base Ledgers. The service allows companies to create private payment environments connected to the Base blockchain network.
Base Ledgers enables final settlement on Base while keeping information about balances, transfers, and transactions hidden from public blockchain explorers. Deposit transactions conceal the recipient of funds, while withdrawals conceal the sender, making it more difficult to link transactions within the public blockchain network. The technology doesn’t guarantee anonymity and is designed to reduce the amount of publicly visible transaction data rather than completely conceal information.
According to the project, the infrastructure is intended for a wide range of enterprise use cases, including:
- B2B payments;
- payroll processing;
- corporate treasury management;
- stablecoin issuance;
- cross-border transfers;
- brokerage settlements.
Companies can configure their own KYC and compliance procedures while maintaining control over their operating environment. The service is currently available in early access, and the availability of certain features will depend on regulatory requirements and the region of use.
Recently, the Base team also introduced the Base MCP protocol, which enables users to manage on-chain operations through text commands in ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI interfaces.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%
For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters.
