Base
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, designed for lower-cost on-chain applications and EVM-compatible tooling.
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase. It is designed to make on-chain applications cheaper and easier to use while staying connected to the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
What Problem It Addresses
Ethereum mainnet can be expensive during busy periods. Layer 2 networks aim to reduce costs for many transactions and make apps such as payments, games, social products, and DeFi easier to use.
Who Should Care
Users who want lower-cost Web3 interactions may encounter Base when using wallets and DApps. Developers may use it because it supports familiar EVM tooling. Beginners should learn how network switching and bridging work before moving funds.
Safety Notes
A cheaper transaction does not make an app safe. Use official bridges and official app links, verify the network in your wallet, and test with small amounts first.
