Base

Embracing Optimism with Pessimism
As we worked to launch Base, we chose to create an open and permissionless network that would allow creative projects of all kinds to come to life.

At the same time, given this open nature, we wanted to ensure we have the best in-house monitoring capabilities to swiftly detect and respond to live protocol threats.

Enter Pessimism — a monitoring system crafted to help support the security of all OP Stack and EVM-compatible chains. The Coinbase team has been running Pessimism internally to oversee and monitor Base mainnet 24/7 since launch. Now, in the spirit of contributing to public goods.software.
