Base

Base is an open-source optimistic rollup built on the Ethereum blockchain. Rollups are L2 blockchains built to help layer one (L1) blockchains like {BITCOIN_LINK} and Ethereum scale. They bundle hundreds of transactions and submit them to L1 as a single transaction, which reduces gas fees for the end user. dRPC's Base RPC offerings ensure foundational access and seamless integration with multiple blockchain platforms, underpinning the functionality and efficiency of advanced blockchain applications.
