Introducing support for the Base mainnet, a significant development that empowers our users to seamlessly build and innovate in the blockchain space. This follows our support for the Base testnet, further expanding the opportunities for developers and businesses alike.

Introduction

Today, Blockdaemon introduces support for Base mainnet, giving developers access to build with industry-leading infrastructure. This follows our support for the Base testnet, further expanding the opportunities for developers and businesses alike. In this blog post, we'll explore what this means for developers, the Base community, and the broader blockchain ecosystem.

Built on Optimism's open-source OP Stack, Base is an innovative blockchain protocol designed to catalyze growth and innovation within the decentralized economy. It provides a robust and scalable infrastructure that enables developers to effortlessly build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps). The Base mainnet is the operational version of this blockchain network, used for real transactions and the deployment of dApps.

Our support for the Base mainnet reflects our confidence in the Base blockchain's capabilities.

Blockdaemon is a Node Service Provider for Base

As listed on the Base documentation, Blockdaemon is among the proud node service provider for Base. Our API Suite allows developers to interact with the Base mainnet/testnet without the need for dedicated nodes or concerns about uptime.

The API suite is a powerful and flexible suite of blockchain APIs that allows users to query blockchain data and broadcast transactions across a variety of blockchains — all without operating or managing nodes. The API suite solves the operational costs and inefficiencies from running and maintaining self-hosted nodes for a business’ needed blockchains. The API suite grants access and gets you up and running in seconds.

This means that developers can leverage our infrastructure to interact with the Base mainnet/testnet without needing to manage their own infrastructure, and at flexible price points depending on usage. Our support extends to both the Base mainnet and the Base Goerli (Testnet).
