Coinbase’s Base Layer 2 Network Prepares for Mainnet Launch
Coinbase’s Layer 2 network, Base, is getting ready for its mainnet launch. The team has focused on improving security to attract more developers and users. They have audited Optimism pre-deploys and contracts, used “fuzzing” methods for critical components, and reviewed key management setup and contracts. Over 100 external security researchers found no critical bugs during the audits. The team is currently addressing informative or minor issues that were reported.

The thorough audits and the addition of the open-source monitoring tool demonstrate their commitment to providing a secure and reliable platform. This development is an important step towards attracting more developers and users to the network.
