# Base Blockchain: BASE Network

For its beta phase, 'Lumi and Tenna' is deployed on the BASE Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution known for low-cost transactions and user accessibility. In 2025, BASE's sub-cent gas fees and Coinbase ecosystem integration make it ideal for a beta project targeting new Web3 users. Key reasons for choosing BASE include:

* **Cost Efficiency**: Low gas fees enable frequent micro-transactions, critical for beta testing relational rewards without financial barriers.
* **Accessibility**: Integration with Coinbase Wallet simplifies onboarding, aligning with Lumi’s user-friendly mission.
* **Scalability**: BASE’s Optimistic Rollups support the beta’s modest transaction volume, with room to scale as features expand.
* **Ethereum Compatibility**: EVM equivalence ensures easy deployment of smart contracts and future interoperability with Ethereum mainnet.

In beta, BASE hosts the core smart contracts and token operations, with plans to explore additional L2s or cross-chain bridges in future releases as interoperability needs grow.
