Your AI. On your phone.

Private by default.

Not one controlled by a big lab.

Not one that hoards your data.

Reclaim your intelligence. Your second brain should be yours, completely.

- DeFi

200ms block times, <$0.01 fees, >200 TPS, stage 1 decentralization, @coinbase distribution – makes @base the top contender for all
