Trading
Building global markets.
Base is building those global markets onchain — the trusted infrastructure and app where any asset can be tokenized, any market traded, and anyone can participate.
01
Upgrade the chain for markets: purpose-built market infrastructure at the chain level, new ERCs for smart accounts and tokens, and scaling to maintain sub-second settlement at sub-cent cost
02
Bring every major asset and market to Base: equities, commodities, and every major asset class, in every market structure: native issuance, tokenization, predictions, perpetuals, spot
03
Make Base App the trusted place to trade everything, available everywhere: trade millions of assets 24/7, discover what’s trending from friends and top traders, and grow your wealth
Payments
Scaling payments and stablecoins.
$17T in volume on Base last year and growing. Base is building the rails to make stablecoin payments low-cost, instant, private, and available everywhere.
01
Upgrade the chain for payments: privacy primitives, native account abstraction and stablecoin gas payments, and protocol-level support for memos, policies, and rewards
02
Create the most liquid markets for stablecoins: quality stablecoins for every currency in the world with easy to access liquidity for trading, borrowing, and lending
03
Make Base App the easiest way to save, spend, and pay anyone: earn yield on your USDC, spend it anywhere, and borrow against your wealth
Builders
Be the home for builders.
Builders build apps and markets, bring new demand, and grow the economy with their ingenuity and hard work. In 2026, Base is building the systems that help every builder (human or agent) spin this flywheel faster.
01
Upgrade the chain for agents: agent-native smart accounts, docs, & CLI+MCP access and standards like x402 to help agents do anything with money in a fast, easy, trusted way
02
Grow a based builder community: Base Batches, builder councils, and ecosystem programs that help the best teams and builders find their footing, get funded, and build scalable businesses
03
Measure, incentivize, and grow the economy: ERC-8021 builder codes, analytics dashboards, liquidity incentives, and growth programs that reward those who bring more users and volume
