About .base
The .base domain extension centers on the word base, which means the bottom or foundation of something, a starting point. It is also the name of an Ethereum Layer 2 network, so it suits that network and the projects around it.
Many sites under this name would point people to official Base resources. That includes applications, developer resources, products, services and communications tied to the network. Developers, businesses, creators and everyday users could all find what they need in one place.
Sites under this name can cover onchain applications, payments, wallets, digital-asset services and developer tools. Because this top-level domain is tied to one network, you can expect its addresses to lead to authoritative Base resources, which helps guard against impersonation and phishing.
