Base is a layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum, designed to improve transaction scalability and reduce costs while leveraging the security of the Ethereum mainnet. Developed using Optimism’s OP Stack technology, Base focuses on creating a foundation for decentralized applications and advancing onchain innovation.
By utilizing rollups, it processes transactions more efficiently, making it suitable for users and developers seeking a reliable, open-source platform. As part of broader efforts to enhance the accessibility of onchain networks, Base serves as a key component in building scalable and user-friendly blockchain applications. It supports ETH as the primary asset for transactions.
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chain, developed in collaboration with Optimism, offering a cost-effective and user-friendly environment for on-chain development. It is incubated within Coinbase, offering EVM compatibility at a lower cost, easy gasless transactions, and aims to be decentralized and open-source.
A layer-2 network, built on top of Ethereum, operates independently from the Ethereum mainnet (Layer 1), providing developers and users with advantages like enhanced scalability, faster transactions, lower gas fees, and maintained security and decentralization.
You can buy ETH on Base using debit cards, credit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA and PIX. By using ETH, Base simplifies its ecosystem and integrates seamlessly with the existing Ethereum infrastructure.
Base was developed by Coinbase to support the growth of decentralized applications and broader adoption of blockchain technology, though it operates independently and is open to all users.
The OP Stack is a modular framework developed by Optimism that Base uses to implement its rollup-based architecture.
