Today, Chainlink Functions, a ground-breaking solution created by Chainlink, made its formal debut on Base, a quickly scalable layer-2 blockchain supported by Ethereum and Coinbase.

For Base smart contract developers, this integration signals the beginning of a new age by giving them unmatched access to trust-minimized computing infrastructure. Within the safe boundaries of Base's ecosystem, developers may perform customised co]mputations and easily connect their smart contracts with external APIs thanks to Chainlink Functions.

Providing Decentralised Computing Solutions to Empower Developers

A serverless, developer-friendly platform designed with the blockchain community in mind is presented by Chainlink Functions. With the help of this cutting-edge technology, developers may do computations with the least amount of trust and seamlessly link smart contracts with a variety of APIs. Chainlink Functions serves as a decentralised compute runtime and provides a variety of features, such as bespoke offchain logic execution, simulation, and testing for Web3 applications.

In essence, it offers improved security and dependability as a decentralised, blockchain-integrated substitute for traditional serverless systems like AWS Lambda and GCP CloudFunctions.

The Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink Labs, Thodoris Karakostas, highlighted his excitement about the partnership and emphasised the strengths of Base as a high-performance layer-2 solution that promotes innovation and scalability in the blockchain industry.

"Chainlink's strong infrastructure will enable Functions to give Base developers more flexibility," said Karakostas, underscoring the possibility that Chainlink Functions might spur ground-breaking innovations inside the Base ecosystem.

Base: Ethereum Layer-2 Infrastructure Trailblazer Designed as an Ethereum layer-2 solution, Base is proof of the continuous advancement of blockchain technology. intended to provide the on-chain centre for Coinbase's assets, users, and products, Base provides the security, stability, and scalability required for decentralised applications (dapps) to flourish. Coinbase, Ethereum L1, and other compatible chains are all smoothly integrated with one another.

Base saves consumers money by facilitating the smooth deployment of EVM codebases. Head of Product at Base Tom Vieira praised the integration of Chainlink Functions as evidence of Base's dedication to enhancing developer capabilities and incorporating reliable technologies into its ecosystem.
