Mainnet or Testnet?
Base is a Layer 2 (L2) chain on Ethereum that provides developers with a low-cost and secure way to build on-chain. It is an L2 built on OP Stack in collaboration with Optimism and is currently being incubated inside of Coinbase. The goal is to leverage Coinbase's experience building crypto products and gradually decentralize the chain over time.
The base is not planning to issue a new network token. Instead, it provides several highlights, including security and scalability powered by Ethereum and Coinbase's best practices, easy access to Coinbase's products, users, and tools, and full EVM compatibility at a fraction of the cost. Developers can set up gasless transactions with easy APIs and build multichain apps with bridges.
Base is committed to becoming decentralized, permissionless, and open to anyone with a vision of creating a rollup agnostic Superchain powered by Optimism. This open-source project aims to establish a thriving community of developers by joining Optimism as a Core Dev on the open-source OP Stack.
