Base, the Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase, has several advantages:

1. Low Transaction Costs

Since Base is built on Optimism’s OP Stack, it benefits from rollup technology, significantly reducing gas fees compared to Ethereum’s Layer 1.

2. High Scalability & Faster Transactions

By using optimistic rollups, Base processes transactions off-chain and settles them on Ethereum, making transactions faster and more scalable.

3. Security & Reliability

Base is secured by Ethereum, meaning it inherits Ethereum’s robust security model while providing a better user experience with lower costs.

4. Coinbase Ecosystem Integration

Being developed by Coinbase, Base has direct access to Coinbase’s user base, liquidity, and developer tools, making it easier for dApps to onboard users and grow.

5. Open-Source & Developer Friendly

Built using the OP Stack, Base is open-source, making it easier for developers to build on it and ensuring transparency.
