Base is a blockchain built by Coinbase, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. It’s an open-source optimistic roll-up, which means it’s a Layer 2 blockchain - built on top of Ethereum.

Base is the second Layer 2 built on Optimism, following the Optimism Mainnet, and was launched in August 2023.
