About Base
Base is an optimistic rollup layer-2 built on Ethereum by Coinbase, offering fast and cheap transactions with mainnet security.
Launched in August 2023 by Coinbase, Base is a layer-2 blockchain built on the OP Stack (the same technology behind Optimism). As an optimistic rollup, Base bundles thousands of transactions and posts compressed proofs to Ethereum, inheriting its security while offering drastically lower costs. After Ethereum's Dencun upgrade, fees on Base dropped to fractions of a cent.
The Base ecosystem grew rapidly thanks to Coinbase's backing, which brings over 100 million verified users as a potential adoption base. Protocols like Aerodrome, Morpho, and Moonwell form a vibrant DeFi ecosystem. Full EVM compatibility means any smart contract written in Solidity can be deployed on Base without modifications.
For the Brazilian market, Base represents a powerful combination: the reliability of a network backed by the largest regulated exchange in the US, with fees below one cent and confirmations in a few seconds. The strong presence of native USDC on Base facilitates payments and conversions, making it one of the most practical networks for everyday transactions.
