About the network

What is Base?

Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, offering ~2-second blocks and cent-level fees while settling to Ethereum. It has quickly become a hub for consumer and onchain-social applications.

Fully EVM-equivalent, Base works with the exact tooling you already use. Pinax runs full-archive Base infrastructure with the extended block model so you can stream and query its complete history from one endpoint.
