Base, being tightly connected to Coinbase, aims to enable any user to interact in the on-chain decentralised ecosystem by providing a seamless user experience - and it has the distribution to do exactly that. Aside from any user being able to interact on Base like any other chain, Base has something special: Coinbase. Users of Coinbase can effortlessly use apps on Base without any of the complexities of blockchains, similar to how they use other apps on their phone. However, on Base, they have access to a vibrant ecosystem with DeFi, NFTs, Social dApps, and the most recent additions of an active Meme and AI ecosystem. As a network, Base is built to be secure, scalable, and accessible to all. It is an Ethereum Layer 2 and leverages the technology stack of Optimism as part of the Superchain. This provides Base with interoperability with any other chain in the Optimism ecosystem as well as the wider Ethereum ecosystem and its L2s. Base does not stop there and is continuously building out and scaling the capability of their blockchain to make it cheaper and faster to use. Base is fully on its way to its end-goal of building and servicing an open financial system on-chain for the mass market.
