Technology Overview
What is Base?
Base is Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, launched in 2023. It is the fastest-growing Ethereum L2 by user count and has become the primary home for consumer-facing crypto applications. We build production dApps on Base.
Base's connection to Coinbase creates a direct onboarding funnel: Coinbase's 100M+ registered users can move to Base through the Coinbase mobile app with minimal friction. This makes Base uniquely positioned for consumer-facing applications — the largest potential user base of any L2, through the Coinbase app.

Implementation
How we implement Base
Discovery and fit
We validate requirements, user flows, transaction volume, security constraints, and integration needs.
Architecture
We define contracts, backend services, infrastructure, data flows, testing strategy, and deployment environments.
Implementation
Our engineers build, integrate, test, and document the production system.
Launch and support
We deploy, monitor, optimize, and support the system after production release.
Security
Security at every implementation layer
Threat modeling
Architecture is reviewed for asset custody, access control, external dependencies, and abuse cases.
Testing
Implementation includes unit, integration, edge-case, and regression testing before release.
Audit readiness
Smart contracts and critical infrastructure are prepared for independent security review where required.
Monitoring
Production systems include observability, alerts, incident response planning, and maintenance workflows.
