base-v0

Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network built on the open-source OP Stack to scale decentralized applications.

Base provides a secure, low-cost environment for developers to build on-chain with full EVM compatibility and direct Coinbase ecosystem integration. It leverages the Optimism (OP) Stack to achieve sub-dollar transaction fees while inheriting Ethereum's robust security model. Since its 2023 mainnet launch, the network has processed over 500 million transactions and secured billions in total value locked (TVL), serving as the primary bridge for bringing 100 million users into the cryptoeconomy.
