Base is a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack, incubated by Coinbase to bring the “next billion users” on-chain.
Kaleido provides dedicated infrastructure for Base, enabling enterprises to tap into the Coinbase ecosystem’s liquidity and user base while maintaining strict operational control and reliability.
Base is an Ethereum layer 2 network built on the OP Stack and incubated by Coinbase. It settles to Ethereum, uses ETH for gas, and offers low fees with fast confirmations. Kaleido provides dedicated Base infrastructure so enterprises can build on Base with the operational control and reliability that regulated workloads need.
Kaleido runs dedicated nodes for Base Mainnet and the Base Sepolia testnet, built for high-volume applications. Shared access runs through a load-balancing gateway in front of a bank of nodes, and dedicated nodes are available for workloads that need their own capacity. Monitoring and maintenance are included.
Kaleido Custody holds ETH and tokens on Base, such as USDC, in wallets controlled by its key management service, with HSM support and multi-party approval policies. Because Base runs the EVM, the same wallets, policies and token tooling Kaleido uses on Ethereum apply on Base, so teams don't set up separate custody for the layer 2.
Kaleido automates Base smart contracts with event streams and a transaction manager. Event streams deliver events from your contracts to your applications as they happen. The transaction manager handles submission, nonce ordering and gas, then tracks each transaction to the confirmation level you set.
Coinbase incubated Base and runs its sequencer today, but Base is a public network that anyone can build on, and using it doesn't require a Coinbase account. Kaleido connects to Base independently, so institutions can use the network with their own custody and infrastructure while still reaching the users and liquidity in the Coinbase ecosystem.
Base offers lower fees and faster confirmations than Ethereum Mainnet because it batches transactions and posts them to Ethereum, inheriting much of Ethereum's security. The trade-offs are a single sequencer operator today and a withdrawal delay back to Ethereum. Kaleido supports both, so a team can issue on Ethereum and run high-volume activity on Base.
