Base chain
Overview
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) blockchain built on the OP Stack, developed by Coinbase. It uses optimistic rollup technology to provide low-cost, high-throughput transactions while inheriting Ethereum's security. The chain is EVM-compatible and designed for decentralized applications including DeFi and NFTs.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Base connects to 379 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Ether (ETH), Ethereum.
