Builders! Base Mainnet is Available in Blast API
Base, the Ethereum L2 incubated by Coinbase and built on the OP Stack, is open for developers looking to deploy their projects. Endpoints for the Base Mainnet are now available for builders using Blast API as their infrastructure provider.
Coinbase announced earlier this year the launch of Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network built on the OP Stack. Base aims to provide a secure and builder-friendly platform for building decentralized apps onchain. Coinbase, which aims to expand economic freedom across the world, incubated Base to onboard the next million developers and billion users into the crypto space.
Built in collaboration with the Optimism Collective , Base is the second L2 on the open-source OP Stack, following OP Mainnet, joining OP Labs as the second core developer of the OP Stack. Rollup projects can be classified into three stages, according to Vitalik Buterin, depending on how much they use “training wheels”. In this instance, ‘training wheels’ describes the lack of an active fraud-proof or validity proof whatsoever, but rather the rollup’s reliance on multisigs that have the ability to force a particular outcome in case there are bugs in the code. Thus a Stage 0 optimistic (or ZK) rollup must bring a running fraud proof or validity proof scheme, which has the practical authority to accept or reject which state roots get accepted by the rollup contract, to attain Stage 1.
