Connect your dApp, bot, or protocol to Base Mainnet (Coinbase’s L2) with BoltRPC. Predictable request-unit billing with no daily caps makes Base the right choice for consumer apps that see highly variable read volumes.

Base is Coinbase’s OP Stack L2, designed for consumer-facing onchain applications. The chain is backed by Coinbase’s 100 million+ user base and benefits from native integration with Coinbase Wallet. Consumer apps, NFT collections, social protocols and wallet infrastructure all land on Base first when targeting mainstream users. RPC demand on Base is characterized by high read volume: wallet balance checks, NFT metadata queries and transaction status polling at scale during active periods. Public Base endpoints regularly hit congestion during launch events.
NFT launchpad backends
NFT collection launches on Base generate some of the highest-density RPC traffic in the OP Stack ecosystem. A launchpad platform needs to verify wallet eligibility, check minting limits, poll transaction status for thousands of concurrent users and update frontend state in real time. During a high-profile mint, this means hundreds of concurrent eth_call and eth_getTransactionReceipt requests within a few minutes. A dedicated RPC endpoint handles this burst reliably; shared public infrastructure typically does not.
Social app onchain reads
Base is the primary L2 for consumer social protocols: onchain identity, follower graphs stored in contracts, creator economy mechanics. Social apps read on-chain state for every user session, making wallet balance checks, ENS-equivalent lookups and social graph queries via eth_call continuously. These are low-latency read workloads with high concurrency requirements across a large active user base.
Wallet balance polling and account management
Applications built for Coinbase Wallet users on Base need to display balances, token holdings and transaction history in real time. Backend services poll eth_getBalance and eth_getLogs for potentially large numbers of user wallets. At Base’s scale, this is a sustained high-read workload that requires reliable infrastructure rather than shared public endpoints.
Why BoltRPC
Base apps generate a high ratio of read calls: balance checks, ownership queries, event polling. On opaque compute-weighted billing, read-heavy workloads accumulate cost fast. BoltRPC prices each method with a fixed, published request-unit weight, so your billing stays predictable as you size a plan to how many eth_call or eth_getLogs requests your application makes.
NFT mint events, token launches, and viral moments on Base create sudden traffic spikes. Public endpoints throttle and drop connections exactly when traffic peaks. BoltRPC is built for high-throughput workloads without imposing daily caps that cut off your application mid-event.
Base's integration with Coinbase Wallet and its expanding onchain app ecosystem means RPC demand is accelerating significantly. BoltRPC's infrastructure is built for exactly these workloads.
Base is EVM-equivalent. Any Ethereum code works on Base with a single endpoint change.
Consumer apps on Base need to react to on-chain state in real time. Subscribe to new blocks and contract events via WebSocket for instant notifications without polling.
Building on multiple OP Stack chains? BoltRPC supports Base, Optimism, and other Superchain networks from one API key with a consistent endpoint format.
