Gift cardsAbout Base, for buyers
Base is an Ethereum layer-2 rollup built on the OP Stack, incubated by Coinbase. It uses ETH for gas fees and has rapidly become one of the busiest L2s by daily active users, with a growing native DeFi, social and onchain commerce ecosystem.
When you buy Base in Zypto, you receive native ETH on the Base network, delivered straight to a wallet you control. There's no exchange account holding your coins, and no separate withdrawal step.
Other ways to buy Base
You can also buy Base on centralized exchanges. The difference with Zypto is non-custodial delivery: your ETH lands directly in a wallet only you control, ready to use across the app, rather than sitting on an exchange you'd need to withdraw from. Both approaches work; this one keeps you in control from the start.
