What Is Base

Base is a Layer 2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, developed by Coinbase to provide faster, more cost-efficient transactions while leveraging Ethereum’s security. It uses Optimistic Rollups to handle transactions off-chain, reducing congestion and fees on the Ethereum mainnet. Fully compatible with Ethereum's ecosystem, Base enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) with improved scalability. Positioned as a user-friendly platform, Base aims to onboard millions of users into the decentralized web, bridging the gap between centralized services and blockchain technology.
