Base is a Layer-2 chain powered by Ethereum, but what makes it the most appetizing choice for today’s builders and change-makers? Why should you build with Base? Why should you build inside the Base Ecosystem? This is what everyone wonders about the introduction of an alien ecosystem. But fear not, for Base is not just anybody’s base; here’s why:

Scalability and Cost Efficiency: Base makes use of the Optimism OP Stack technology to batch transactions off-chain. It drastically reduces gas fees and increases transaction throughput, making this solution both cost-effective and scalable for users and developers.

Friendly to Developers: Base is fully compatible with Ethereum development tools such as Solidity and Truffle, making it smooth for developers to develop. This interoperability makes the porting of existing Ethereum dApps into Base a breeze for developers.

All kinds of applications: Base supports applications of all kinds, be it DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, social media platforms, or supply chain solutions. This in itself makes it a robust platform for a variety of uses.

Safety and Reliability: By using the security provided by Ethereum and incorporating fraud-proof systems, Base can ensure that the transactions are both secure and reliable. Since the network is open-source in nature, the community can provide ongoing scrutiny and improvements.

Growth of Ecosystem and Incentives: There are weekly rewards for builders and several grants to support new projects at Base. These incentives encourage innovativeness and hence make the ecosystem grow much faster.

Promotion of Equality and Equity: Since The Base has a decentralized structure at its core, all players can be given the opportunity of equality and fairness within their respective backgrounds or skill sets.

EVM Compatible: Base is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it easy for developers to port their Ethereum-based dApps to Base without major modifications. This compatibility also ensures costless transactions and high throughput.

Interoperability with Superchain Vision: Base leverages Optimism’s OP stack in such a way that interoperability between different L2 networks is achieved. The goal is to bring several L2s together to build a “Superchain” that improves the scalability and functionality of the Ethereum network.

Base Onchain Summer Buildathon

This is a global online Buildathon with 600 ETH for winners as prizes, grants, and gas credit effectively worth more than $2M. Designed with eight tracks spanning payments, commerce, gaming, and social, Base hopes to inspire innovative on-chain projects. Buidlathon is supported in its community engagement and effort by key partners such as Stripe, Shopify, and Zora, and through grants and tools provided to its builders by Coinbase and other ecosystem partners. Geared toward making on-chain technology more open, this will onboard a billion users in the next generation of Web3.

Notable projects and builders from the Onchain Summer Buildathon. There have been some great products that range from onboarding people on Onchain to making sure their Onchain experience remains memorable and solid.

1. Emmanuel Enebeli (Kokocodes): He is a great character who has been seen hosting Twitter spaces encouraging builders to show up and share their projects. The platform provides a chance for the builders to team up and seek support while also promoting the building spirit. Check out Kokocodes on X

2. ThirdInternet Initiative: This project aims at creating awareness about Web3 technologies in high school students through sensitization in schools to impact early adoption and understanding of blockchain. They just recently launched an e-library where one can only access it using a Smart Wallet. Check ThirdInternext on Devfolio

3. Asset Scooper: This is a tool designed to let users transform their low-balance tokens into something more serviceable, thus also solving the “fragmented” balance tokens that are most common today. Check out Asset Scooper on Devfoio Visit the product website.

4. ProductFindr: Termed as the “Product Hunt for Web3,” ProductFindr is meant to help users find and discover new products and services in Web3, thus increasing the discoverability and usage of new and creative projects. Users can even get rewards through product testing. Check out ProductFindr on Devfolio

There are still more amazing products created on the Onchain summer buildathon, this is just an insight into amazing products built to onboard the next billion! With the ecosystem growing at lightning speed, one has to jump in and be part of this revolution enjoying some of the benefits: scalable, secure, and developer-friendly platforms.

Base is therefore aiming to become one of the key players in the blockchain space to drive the adoption of Web3 technologies. The combination of low fees, strong security, and extensive support makes it ideal for innovation in the blockchain space.
