# Base DEX coverage

Coinbase's L2 with growing DeFi liquidity

Base is Coinbase's Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack. It offers Ethereum security with lower fees and faster confirmation times. Aerodrome is the dominant DEX on Base. The chain has seen rapid TVL growth and increasingly hosts tokens that also trade on centralized exchanges, making it a relevant venue for cross-chain and CEX-DEX spread monitoring.


- Type: DEX chain
- Markets monitored: 
- Pairs covered: 2000+
- Spread types: spot/dex, dex/futures, dex/dex

### Why it matters for spread detection

Base's growing liquidity means more tokens have meaningful depth on both Base DEXs and centralized exchanges. Umbra monitors Base pools alongside Ethereum, BSC, and Solana for a complete cross-chain view.

### What makes it different

Base's connection to Coinbase creates a unique flow dynamic. Tokens trending on Coinbase Wallet often see early liquidity on Base DEXs before broader CEX listings.

### Features

- Ethereum L2 security guarantees
- Low fees via OP Stack rollups
- Aerodrome as primary AMM
- Growing institutional DeFi adoption
