DeFi Meets AI: How Base L2 Enables the Agent Economy

Why Base L2?

Base offers sub-cent transaction fees, 2-second block times, and full EVM compatibility. For AI agents making dozens of micropayments per hour, this matters enormously.

Gasless Transactions via Agentic Wallets

Coinbase's Agentic Wallets include built-in gas sponsorship on Base L2. Agents never need to hold ETH for gas — transactions just work.

USDC as the Payment Rail

All payments on AgentMarket use USDC — the most liquid stablecoin on Base. No volatility risk, instant settlement, and native Coinbase support.

The Agent Economy

We're entering an era where AI agents will autonomously earn, spend, and invest. Base L2 + Coinbase Agentic Wallets are the foundation for this new economy.
