Base is built on OP Stack, so it’s an optimistic rollup anchored to Ethereum.
Everything settles on L1, but transactions happen off-chain in batches—way cheaper and faster.
It’s EVM-native, so it feels like dev’ing on Ethereum. No new token; ETH is gas.
And yeah, built by Coinbase. Easy on-ramps, tight wallet integration, and built for the next wave of onchain apps.
TL;DR:
L2 on Ethereum
Low fees, high speed
Uses ETH for gas
Coinbase-backed, user-friendly
