# Base

> Build and use Ethereum-compatible blockchain applications

Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network for building and using blockchain applications. It gives developers an environment for deploying smart contracts and lets people access services for payments, trading, lending, and other digital-asset activities. Because it supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine, teams can work with familiar Ethereum wallets, libraries, and development tools when connecting to the network.

Developers can use the official documentation to configure network connections, test on Base Sepolia, deploy applications, and integrate payment or DeFi services. The ecosystem directory helps users find applications and infrastructure providers, while block explorers make it possible to inspect transactions and contracts. Base is useful for teams that want to add blockchain-based features to a product and for people exploring applications built on Ethereum-compatible infrastructure.
