Terms & Concepts
  • Base: Base is Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, designed to process transactions more efficiently and at lower cost than Ethereum’s main chain.
  • USDC: USDC is a stablecoin, meaning a digital token designed to maintain a fixed value, in this case pegged to the U.S. dollar.
  • Onchain payments: Onchain payments are transactions settled directly on a blockchain, allowing value transfer through crypto networks rather than traditional payment rails.
