# Base

> The blockchain for global finance.

Base is the chain incubated by Coinbase. Stablecoin issuance, payments, and compliance controls ship as native chain primitives, with no custom contracts to build or audit. Transactions settle in under a second for pennies in gas, with direct access to Coinbase's users and USDC liquidity.
