We build on Base — Coinbase's L2 for bringing the next billion users onchain. Consumer dApps, DeFi protocols, and social applications with unmatched distribution.
Base is Coinbase's Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, designed to bring mainstream users onchain. With Coinbase's distribution reach, developer-friendly tooling, and ultra-low transaction costs, Base has rapidly become one of the most active chains in the Ethereum ecosystem. Arthiq builds applications on Base that leverage this unique combination of performance and distribution.
What makes Base distinctive is not just its technology — which delivers sub-cent transactions with Ethereum security through the Optimism Bedrock architecture — but its connection to Coinbase's 110+ million verified users. Applications on Base can tap into this user base through Coinbase Wallet integration and smart wallet features that simplify the onboarding experience.
Our Base development services span DeFi protocols, consumer social applications, gaming platforms, and enterprise solutions. We understand the onchain culture that Base is building and design applications that align with its vision of making blockchain technology accessible to everyone.
Base has attracted a wave of consumer-focused applications that prioritize user experience over technical complexity. We build consumer dApps on Base with seamless onboarding — smart wallets that eliminate seed phrase management, social login integration, gasless transactions, and intuitive interfaces that feel native to mobile and web users.
Our consumer application work includes social platforms with onchain identity, tipping and creator monetization systems, loyalty programs backed by NFTs, prediction markets, and micropayment applications that are only viable on low-fee chains like Base. Each application is designed for users who may never have interacted with blockchain technology before.
We leverage Base's account abstraction capabilities to create embedded wallet experiences where users can transact without understanding gas, private keys, or chain mechanics. The blockchain becomes invisible infrastructure, and the application experience takes center stage.
Base hosts a growing DeFi ecosystem with native protocols and multi-chain deployments from established platforms. We build DeFi applications on Base that take advantage of its low fees and deep integration with the Coinbase ecosystem.
Our Base DeFi work includes liquidity provision interfaces, yield strategies, stablecoin applications, and trading platforms. The low transaction costs on Base enable DeFi features that are impractical on higher-cost chains — dollar-cost averaging with small amounts, frequent portfolio rebalancing, and micro-yield farming strategies.
We also build applications that bridge Base with other chains in the Superchain ecosystem. The OP Stack interoperability layer enables native communication between Base, Optimism, and other OP Stack chains, creating opportunities for cross-chain DeFi that maintains the low-cost, fast-finality experience of each individual chain.
Base is at the forefront of account abstraction and smart wallet adoption. Coinbase Smart Wallet provides passkey-based authentication, gasless transactions, and batch operations that dramatically simplify the user experience. We build applications that integrate deeply with these wallet capabilities.
Our smart wallet integrations include sponsored transactions where the application covers gas costs, batched operations that combine multiple actions into single user confirmations, session keys that allow pre-approved actions without repeated signing, and social recovery mechanisms that eliminate the catastrophic risk of lost seed phrases.
These capabilities transform what is possible in Web3 user experience. Applications can offer subscription models, recurring payments, and automated strategies without requiring users to approve every individual transaction. We design these flows carefully to maintain security while delivering convenience.
Base development uses standard Ethereum tooling — Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry, wagmi, viem — making it accessible for any team with EVM development experience. We optimize contracts for Base's OP Stack fee model, which charges separately for L2 execution and L1 data availability.
Our deployment process on Base includes testnet validation on Base Sepolia, gas estimation calibrated for Base's fee structure, contract verification on Basescan, and integration testing with Coinbase Smart Wallet. We configure deployments for both developer wallets and production multisig ownership.
Arthiq builds on Base with the understanding that this chain represents a bridge between the crypto-native world and mainstream adoption. Our Singapore-based team brings technical depth and product thinking to every Base project. Contact founders@arthiq.co to explore what you can build on Base.
We build consumer-ready onchain applications on Base. Smart wallets, gasless transactions, and Coinbase distribution — the future of Web3 UX.
