Base is an Ethereum Layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase, designed to make blockchain technology more accessible, scalable, and affordable for everyone. Built on top of Ethereum using Optimistic Rollup technology, Base inherits Ethereum’s security while significantly reducing transaction costs and improving speed.
What makes Base stand out is its focus on real-world adoption. It is fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts without rewriting code. This lowers the barrier for builders and accelerates innovation across DeFi, NFTs, social apps, payments, and consumer-focused onchain experiences.
