About this route
OP Mainnet. The original optimistic rollup and the reference implementation for the OP Stack, the codebase that Base and a growing list of other chains are built on.
Base. Coinbase's OP Stack rollup, and the chain most new consumer and social apps launch on. Its link to a major exchange makes it a common first stop for people arriving from fiat.
Transfers between OP Mainnet and other OP Stack chains such as Base are unusually cheap, because the routes share infrastructure and liquidity providers.
Base has direct Coinbase deposit and withdrawal support, so it is often cheaper to move funds via the exchange than via a bridge — worth checking before you pay bridge fees.
