Base is our commitment to onchain

We believe that the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet (“online”).We believe that the onchain platform should be open source, free to use, and globally available. And we believe that in order to make it really work, we need all hands on deck, working together to scale in a secure, decentralized, easy-to-use way.Base is built to be the onchain home for Coinbase products, users, and assets, as well as an open ecosystem where anyone can build for them. Leverage Coinbase’s developer tools to make building easy and reach Coinbase users.

Base is powered by Optimism's OP Stack, making it one of the most secure, scalable EVM L2s out there. The OP Stack is an open-source public good that will serve as the foundation for a “superchain” of L2s that share interoperability, sequencing, and governance.

Base is incubated within Coinbase and plans to progressively decentralize in the years ahead. We believe that decentralization is critical to creating an open, global cryptoeconomy that is accessible to everyone. Base is our commitment to onchain.
