Base is a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly Ethereum L2, providing the security, stability, and scalability one needs to power your onchain apps.&#x20;

One can deploy any EVM codebase and onramp assets from Ethereum L1, Coinbase, and other interoperable chains. &#x20;

For low fees, one can get an EVM environment at a fraction of the cost, with access to Ethereum features like Account Abstraction (ERC4337), simple developer APIs for gasless transactions, and smart contract wallets.
