Base

I think that when we talk about layer2, the first one that always comes to mind is Base. Both for the number of DAPPs that are there, for the performances, for the huge number of builders that work on it and for the community super interested in keeping the project alive. Many layer2 died shortly after doing the airdrop, base still doesn't know if it will ever do an airdrop, but I'm sure that even if it comes out, users will not abandon the chain immediately after.

lovely L2 on the ole Ethereum, thank you @jessepollak

When people mention layer 2 on Ethereum, Base is usually the first name that comes up. It has become a real hub for apps, builders, and daily users, and the chain experience is smooth enough that it keeps pulling in more activity over time.

You only realize it after using it for a while: this L2 is truly different, both saving on fees and ensuring a smooth, delay-free experience.

It works fast, realible and very cheap. Compared to all the other layers base have a great upside potential

Base is the L2 with the largest number of users currently, and is the main driving force for the development of the EVM ecosystem in this cycle.

I've been using base for about 4 years now and I'm impressed with not only the chain's stability but with the developers it attracts. I'm currently using an AI fund managerr built on top of base the low tx fees makes it an attractive place to park my capital. I fully recommend.

I have tried a few Layer 2s, but Base is hands-down the best so far. Transactions are super quick, and the fees are basically nothing compared to mainnet Ethereum.

Honestly, Base just works. I’ve been on-chain for a bit, and it’s one of the few networks where I don’t have to worry about gas spikes or failed transactions every five minutes. The ecosystem is growing fast, but it doesn't feel cluttered—just solid projects and a smooth UI. For me, it’s about the consistency. It’s become my go-to for daily stuff simply because it’s cheap and reliable

Cheap as far as chains go. Does seem to be having quite a few outages at the moment but that might just be because so many people are writing ethos reviews
