Base: Enhancing Ethereum's Scalability and AccessibilityBase is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum developed by Coinbase, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges. Designed to address the scalability and cost issues inherent in Ethereum, Base aims to make decentralized applications (dApps) more accessible and efficient.At its core, Base leverages optimistic rollups, a technology that processes transactions off-chain and only resolves disputes on-chain. This approach significantly reduces congestion on the Ethereum network, leading to faster transactions and lower gas fees. By inheriting the security of the Ethereum mainnet, Base ensures that transactions remain secure while improving performance.One of Base's key strengths is its developer-friendly environment. Coinbase has provided comprehensive tools and resources to facilitate the creation and deployment of dApps.
