TL;DR: Base’s decentralization roadmap focuses on transparency and enhancing onchain security. To support this, we’re committed to fostering a secure environment for onchain builders. Today, we’re excited to launch free security reviews to a select cohort of apps and protocols on Base, in beta. In the initial phase of the beta, selected teams will receive a scoped review, security-related recommendations, and assistance to improve security posture at no cost. Apply now.

From day one, Base Chain has been built with a security-first approach, leveraging Coinbase's enterprise-grade practices to secure the network.

To bring the next billion users onchain, we’re now looking to empower builders with the tools they need to build secure, reliable apps and protocols for their users. Last year, we introduced free onchain monitoring for Base builders, powered by Hexagate.

Now, we’re taking another major step towards bringing best-in-class security practices to apps on Base. Today, we’re excited to launch free security reviews to a cohort of apps and protocols on Base, in beta. Selected teams will receive a scoped review, security-related recommendations, and assistance to improve security posture at no cost. Spots are limited—apply now.

We’re extending our security offering upstream by proactively supporting builders in their security practices—reviewing their smart contracts during the development process and helping to identify and mitigate some of the potential vulnerabilities before they become critical issues.

The Coinbase Protocol Security team has conducted extensive audits across various DeFi protocols, including many on Base, and has started developing a streamlined process focusing on high-risk areas, leveraging static analysis and cutting-edge AI-based tooling.

This new beta program provides complimentary security reviews to help builders strengthen their protocols. This initiative leverages the expertise of Coinbase’s Protocol Security team (ProtoSec), offering builders the opportunity to benefit from our deep experience in securing onchain protocols.

Selected builders will receive:

• Smart contract and security practice reviews: Coinbase’s Protocol Security team will perform targeted reviews focused on identifying certain critical vulnerabilities using advanced static analysis tools and AI-powered insights.

• Security-related recommendations: Builders will receive clear, prioritized recommendations tailored specifically to their protocol's unique risks.

• Ongoing support: We’ll actively engage with builder teams throughout the review process and offer best practices to enhance their security posture.

We’re committed to fostering a secure and transparent environment for everyone on Base, and will continue expanding our security offering to empower more builders to deploy secure onchain apps and protocols.

In this initial phase of the beta, we'll accept a limited number of applications, gradually expanding the program over the coming months. If you’re selected, you’ll receive direct communication with details on next steps. Apply here.

And if you’re interested in helping us build a global economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom, we’re hiring — and we’d love to hear from you.

Disclaimer: While these reviews are a powerful resource, they’re designed to complement, not replace, formal audits and other security practices. Builders remain fully responsible for their security and should pursue comprehensive third-party audits from formal security auditors. Coinbase does not provide any guarantees as to the accuracy of the reviews or any suggested mitigations. Selected protocols will be required to accept applicable terms of service before enrolling in the beta program.
