We’re taking KRL to the next level! With Base, Coinbase’s Layer 2 network, you can now enjoy lightning-fast transactions and ultra-low fees. No more overpaying for transfers. This integration makes KRL easier to use, more affordable, and accessible to a wider audience.
What is Base?
Base is a secure, low-cost, and developer-friendly Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum by Coinbase, the leading cryptocurrency exchange where KRL is listed. Powered by Optimism’s OP Stack, Base enhances scalability and usability by offering faster transactions and lower fees while maintaining Ethereum’s robust security. As an emerging hub for decentralized applications (dApps), Base is quickly becoming a preferred network for projects seeking efficiency, interoperability, and seamless user experiences.
Why Base?
Since its launch, KRL has always been on Ethereum, benefiting from its security and decentralization. However, Ethereum’s high transaction fees have often limited accessibility, making small transfers costly. With KRL now available on Base, users can transfer tokens for just a few cents instead of paying several dollars per transaction. This not only enhances usability but also opens KRL to a new audience, making it more accessible to investors and traders. Lower transaction costs mean it’s easier and more affordable to acquire and use KRL, which in turn drives adoption, increases liquidity, and strengthens the overall ecosystem.

What are the main benefits of using Base?
Base is built by Coinbase, providing a secure, low-cost, and developer-friendly environment for Ethereum-based applications. It offers:
- Lower gas fees compared to Ethereum mainnet.
- Fast transactions with Optimistic Rollup technology.
- Seamless integration with the Coinbase ecosystem, making it easier to move assets between Coinbase and Base.
Are transactions on Base faster than Ethereum?
Yes! Transactions on Base are much faster than on Ethereum mainnet because Base batches and processes them off-chain before finalizing them on Ethereum. This reduces network congestion and speeds up processing times.
How does Base reduce transaction costs?
Base significantly reduces transaction costs by using Optimistic Rollups, which batch multiple transactions together before submitting them to Ethereum. This reduces congestion on the Ethereum mainnet and lowers gas fees, allowing users to transfer assets and interact with dApps at a fraction of the cost.
How do I check my transactions on Base?
You can check your transaction history directly in your wallet under the "Activity" or "History" section.
