Hello r/ethereum!

We’re members of the core team working on Base, and we’ll be hosting an AMA on March 21 at 12 pm ET / 4 pm UTC. Base is an Ethereum L2 incubated by Coinbase that aims to be a secure, low-cost, and developer-friendly platform for anyone to build dapps, and collectively empower more users to experience the benefits of the onchain economy. We'll do this by making Base:

• An open ecosystem: we want to create a secure, decentralized foundation for builders to easily launch and deploy their dapps
• A bridge to the broader onchain economy: We want users to be able to securely access any ecosystem from Base, from Ethereum and other L2s to different L1 ecosystems like Solana

We'll be answering questions about Base, our technical approach, and our roadmap on March 21 at 12 pm ET / 4 pm UTC, but you can start adding your questions below on this post. Once the AMA is live, we’ll be answering questions for about two hours and try to get through as many as we can. Please note, we won’t be answering questions about:

• Questions around Coinbase’s valuation, anticipated stock price or non-public financials
• Questions that are inappropriate or irrelevant
• Questions on future financial performance, growth trends or expansion plans
• Questions around new asset listings or explorations
• Questions that are irrelevant to Base as an open L2
• Questions around regulation

Your questions will be answered by:

• Jesse Pollak, Base Contributor #001: u/jessepollak
• Michael de Hoog, Base Core Developer u/mdehoog-base
• Andrew Flockhart, Base Core Developer: u/aflock-base
