Introducing BuildOnBase: A L2 Blockchain for Democratizing Access to Web3

•

Happy easter everyone! 🐰🥚🐣 Introducing @BuildOnBase, a L2 blockchain designed to democratize access to Web3 🧵🧵🧵

What's the value of Base? • Low-cost and developer-friendly approach • Potential to bring blockchain technology to 1B users • Home for Coinbase's on-chain products • Open ecosystem where anyone can build and grow.

Base is backed by @coinbase and powered by @optimismFND. With the vast experience of these two industry giants, it is primed for success.

Quick reminder about @BuildOnBase: They've said no tokens for Base Layer 2. But let's not forget that OP and Arbitrum made similar promises before airdropping millions to their active users. Don't miss out on your chance to be eligible by following this thread 🧵
