Hold onto your wallets, folks—Base just landed on xPortal, and things got a whole lot more based! Noobie or wiz, this integration is your fast track to unlocking the full potential of Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 incubated by Coinbase. Here’s everything you need to know.

Designed to make crypto more accessible, scalable, and powerful, Base shares much of our vision for the future, making it the perfect choice for our next integration.

If you’re not familiar with Base, here’s a quick intro:

• Scalability and cost efficiency: By processing transactions off-chain and batching them before submitting to Ethereum's mainnet, Base significantly reduces congestion and lowers transaction fees, making it more economical for users.
• Optimistic rollups: Base utilizes optimistic rollups, a technology that assumes transactions are valid by default and only runs computations in case of a dispute, thereby increasing throughput and reducing latency.
• Open-Source Development: Base is built on the open-source OP Stack in collaboration with Optimism, promoting transparency and allowing developers to contribute to its evolution.
• EVM Compatibility: Base is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to deploy their existing Ethereum code onto Base without modifications, thus retaining functionalities and reducing development effort.
