Base

Coinbase’s Superchain L2 and the city with the most daily transactions — consumer apps, social and payments cluster here. It has no token of its own, so building height is computed from TVL.

Base is the L2 that the US exchange Coinbase opened in August 2023. It is built with Optimism’s OP Stack, and fees are paid in ETH.

By transaction count it is one of the busiest places in the Ethereum ecosystem, home to consumer apps, social, payments and memecoins. In 2025 it added permissionless fault proofs and reached Stage 1 on L2BEAT.

How it looks in the city

It sits in the Superchain quarter west of downtown, drawn in red tones. Vehicles on its roads are transactions per second, and the container trucks heading downtown are the data it posts to L1. It has no token of its own, so building height is computed from deposited assets (TVL) instead of market cap and drawn as a wide civic block.
