Let’s talk about @base.base.eth
Ethereum L2 that’s basically Coinbase’s love letter to making crypto usable.
Built on the OP Stack (battle-tested Optimism tech + Coinbase polish), Base is already processing 14M+ transactions/day with fees under $0.03.
But Base isn’t trying to be the fastest or cheapest.
It’s trying to be the most usable.
That strategy is working.
• $4.28B TVL
• Overtook every other L2 — including Arbitrum
• Seamless EVM compatibility
The real edge? Distribution.
Coinbase’s 100M+ users can onboard to Base in seconds via the Base App.
No bridges.
No gas anxiety.
No UX horror stories.
Feels like Web2.
Runs on Ethereum security.
And yes — decentralization matters.
Base reached Stage 1 decentralization in April 2025, with fault proofs live on mainnet.
The sequencer is still Coinbase-operated, but user funds aren’t hostage — a setup even Vitalik publicly defended.
