Billions remain excluded from traditional banking systems, lacking access to credit, savings, or even reliable payments. Blockchain promises inclusion, but high costs have been a barrier. Base could finally change this.

Breaking Barriers with Layer 2

On Base, sending a transaction costs cents instead of dollars. This matters for people living on a few dollars a day. By reducing costs, Base makes global remittances and microfinance viable at scale.

Coinbase as a Global On-Ramp

Coinbase’s reach into dozens of countries means users can enter the Base ecosystem more easily. Fiat-to-crypto gateways are critical for inclusion, and Base benefits from Coinbase’s regulatory infrastructure.

DeFi for the Unbanked

Lending, savings, and insurance protocols can operate cheaply on Base, empowering individuals who’ve been excluded from legacy systems. This democratization of finance could have profound effects on emerging economies.

Toward a Borderless Economy

If successful, Base could become the digital infrastructure for the financially underserved—turning inclusion from a promise into reality.
