Base is planning to bring a million developers and a billion users onchain. We need your help to make that happen. We believe that the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet. We believe that the onchain platform should be open source, free to use, and globally available. And we believe that to make it truly work, we need to make the onchain experience as intuitive, rewarding, and social as the apps people use every day. At Base, we live by our values: we do the right thing, work hard, stay optimistic, prioritize the team, and push creative boundariesall while building the future of onchain.
