About Base
Base is a layer 2 network built by Coinbase on the OP Stack, the open-source software behind Optimism, and open to the public since August 2023. Transactions run on Base and are posted in batches to Ethereum, which is where the network ultimately settles.
Gas is paid in ETH — Base has no token of its own — and a swap usually costs a cent or less, a small fraction of the same trade on Ethereum. The ETH has to be on Base, though. ETH on Ethereum cannot pay for a Base transaction until it has been bridged over, or withdrawn to Base from an exchange that supports it.
Coinbase Wallet supports it out of the box, and MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow and most other EVM wallets support it as a network to add. Aerodrome is its largest exchange. Base's sequencer, the component that orders transactions, is run by Coinbase, which is a point of central control worth knowing about.
