On 2/23/23, we launched the testnet of Base, a new L2 blockchain incubated by Coinbase that offers developers a secure, low-cost, and easy way to build dapps to bring the next billion users onchain. In the month since launch, we’ve been so thankful for the incredible ecosystem of builders that are building on or supporting Base.

We recently launched Base, a secure, low-cost, developer friendly Ethereum L2. Our vision is to collectively work towards an ambitious goal: bringing the next billion users onchain. One of our values from the beginning has been “Base is for everyone” and we’re so grateful to see builders around the world starting to make Base their home. Alongside the announcement of Base, we also announced the Base Ecosystem Fund – a pool of capital to invest in early stage (pre-seed to seed) projects buildi...

TL;DR: Base Builder Quest, the first onchain challenge on Base, is now live! Deploy a smart contract on Base to earn a non-transferable, commemorative NFT on Base testnet, designed by Andre Oshea, a digital artist who makes art for those building the future. Last month, we launched Base testnet to empower builders everywhere. Base is an Ethereum L2 that offers developers an easy, secure way to build dapps for the next billion onchain users.

Today, we’re excited to announce the testnet launch of Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network offering a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly way for anyone, anywhere, to build decentralized apps onchain. Our goal with Base is to make onchain the next online and onboard one billion users into the cryptoeconomy. In pursuit of this goal, Base will serve as both a home for Coinbase’s onchain products and an open ecosystem where anyone can build. We’re incubating Base inside of Coinbase, leveragi...

Tl;DR We believe that decentralization is critical to an open cryptoeconomy. That’s why we will be deploying Base as the second L2 on the open-source OP Stack, following Optimism Mainnet, and joining as the second core developer of the OP Stack to accelerate that decentralized future. We’re excited to collaborate with OP Labs and the Optimism Collective to build on our shared vision for scaling Ethereum via a robust, interoperable web3 ecosystem that can onboard the next billion users into we...
