Base and the Coinbase L2 Ecosystem
Intermediate · 5 lessons · 0 complete
You've covered rollups and the optimistic-versus-zk debate in general terms. This course is about one specific, currently active network: Base, the Ethereum layer-2 built by Coinbase. We'll cover what it actually is, why a major exchange building its own rollup is a notable industry pattern, what's actually been built on it, what you need technically to deploy there, and the centralization tradeoffs worth understanding when a large company runs the sequencer.
