Looks like someone is doing some stress testing on Base👀 There is a series of addresses that ran over 7.5 million txns in aggregate since July 1, and is responsible for over 13% of transactions on Base today. They are all funded or directly tied to a single address. The activity has driven single-block TPS north of 1,000 TPS on a few occasions. Many of the addresses follow this pattern: > mass-distributor funds wallets with ETH > swap <$0.001 of ETH for random memecoin > send 80% of remaining ETH to collector addy 1 > send remaining 20% of ETH to collector addy 2 This is pretty on par with what I see on other chains like Solana where the goal is to increase the number of holders of a memecoin, since there are traders that treat this metric as "signal." But not all the addresses follow the same pattern; some have much different behavior. The initial mass funding address is 0xdA3A07bB58A4db185f95Ada2522aa2944a4a3b3e, which appears tied to "oomerbot" - a telegram bot that offers tools for creating activity around certain memecoins. It offers very specific... features. About $10k has been spent on gas across the 7.5m involved transactions, so the user(s) must be convinced there is a payoff at the end of this. I'm still looking deeper on this; lmk if anyone finds anything.
